The highway starts east of Cleveland and ends in Batesville. In its central portion S.R. 255 has a 4.9 mile overlap with S.R. 17. The southern non-overlapped section of the highway is known locally as Blue Creek Road (7.2 miles) and the northern non-overlapped section as Stovall Mill Road (7.5 miles). Portions of the route are in the Chattahoochee National Forest.
