SR 151 and SR 56 run concurrently northeast through Hendersons Store to Roseland, where SR 56 (Crabtree Falls Highway) splits northwest to ascend the spine of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

North of the village of Nellysford, SR 151 intersects SR 6 (River Road) at Martins Store near the confluence of the Rockfish River's forks. The two highways follow the North Fork of the river to its source at the confluence of several creeks near Avon, where SR 6 splits north as Afton Mountain Road toward Afton. SR 151 continues northeast along Critzers Shop Road, which enters Albemarle County shortly before reaching the route's northern terminus at US 250 (Rockfish Gap Turnpike) at Critzers Shop.[1][2]
