The state highway heads east as a two-lane undivided road between the [Westview Terrace](/source/Westview_Terrace%2C_Roanoke%2C_Virginia) and [Washington Heights](/source/Washington_Heights%2C_Roanoke%2C_Virginia) neighborhoods. SR 101 expands to a six-lane [divided highway](/source/Divided_highway) just west of its intersection with Cove Road, which heads south as [SR 116](/source/Virginia_State_Route_116). The state highway curves northeast through a commercial area where it has a [cloverleaf interchange](/source/Cloverleaf_interchange) with I-581 and US 220.
