State Road 247 begins at US 129 (Suwannee Avenue) as West Plant Street, which is a four lane divided highway for only one block.

Aside from Branford Elementary School, most of the surroundings along SR 247 consists of farmland, and occasional wooded areas.

SR 247 curves more to the northeast after the intersection of Governor Road (254th Street), and remains at that angle throughout the rest of its journey.

A local street leads to Ichetucknee Hideaway Cottages,[3] a mobile home park promoted for cave diving.

This intersection contains turning ramps on the southwest and northeast corners, but no traffic signals or businesses of any kind.
