The state highway heads southeast as Collierstown Road along Colliers Creek, which empties into Buffalo Creek. After following the latter creek, SR 251 has a curvaceous ascent out of the stream valley. The state highway heads east into the independent city of Lexington, where the highway's name changes to Thornhill Road. When Thornhill Road veers northeast toward downtown Lexington, SR 251 continues along Link Road the short remaining distance to its northern terminus at US 11 (Lee Highway) and US 11 Business (Main Street) southwest of downtown Lexington.[1][2]
