For the former State Route 273, see [State Route 273 (Virginia 1933-1947)](/source/State_Route_273_(Virginia_1933-1947)).

**State Route 273** (**SR 273**) is a primary [state highway](/source/State_highway) in the U.S. state of [Virginia](/source/Virginia). Known as **Farmers Drive**, the state highway runs 5.33 miles (8.58 km) from [SR 30](/source/Virginia_State_Route_30) in [Barhamsville](/source/Barhamsville,_Virginia) north to SR 30 and [SR 33](/source/Virginia_State_Route_33) at [Eltham](/source/Eltham,_Virginia). SR 273 is the old alignment of SR 30 in eastern [New Kent County](/source/New_Kent_County,_Virginia).

## Route description

SR 273 begins at an intersection with SR 30 (New Kent Highway) in Barhamsville. The state highway heads northeast as a two-lane undivided road through a mix of farmland and forest. As it approaches the [York River](/source/York_River_(Virginia)), SR 273 veers north and parallels the river. The state highway crosses Mill Creek before reaching its northern terminus at SR 30 and SR 33 (Eltham Road) in Eltham, a short distance west of the [Pamunkey River](/source/Pamunkey_River), which forms the York River in confluence with the [Mattaponi River](/source/Mattaponi_River) at [West Point](/source/West_Point,_Virginia).[1][2]
