[3] From here, SH-24 runs west along the county line for three miles (5 km), where it turns due north in the unincorporated community of Storey.

[4] From Woody Chapel, Highway 24 continues northward (encountering a few curves to avoid a small pond)[4] to the town of Washington.

The original route continues south from where the highway now turns to run along the McClain–Garvin county line, ending at SH-19 between Maysville and Lindsay.

From the highway's creation to the early 1990s, the road ran north along Main Street through downtown Washington, crossing over Walnut Creek via an old, one-lane truss bridge, built in 1927.

The old bridge still serves as an alternate route out of Washington; the old SH-24 alignment has been designated "Walnut Creek Road" by McClain County.
