The western terminus of SR 243 is at a diamond interchange with the U.S. Route 52 (US 52) in Coal Grove. The eastern terminus of the state highway is at its signalized junction with State Route 7 approximately 1.25 miles (2.01 km) west of Proctorville near the northern banks of the Ohio River.
SR 243 used to continue east from here, running concurrently with SR 7 into Proctorville, then split briefly from SR 7 as it passed through the community of Rome before ending at SR 7 about 3 miles (4.8 km) east of Proctorville.
