Virginia State Route 237 follows an L-shaped course between eastern Fairfax and Arlington, passing through Merrifield and the independent city of Falls Church en route. The state route totals 13.08 miles in length.
SR 237 originates at SR 236 (Little River Turnpike) in eastern reaches of Fairfax, initially following Pickett Road north to U.S. 50 (Arlington/Fairfax Boulevard). SR 237 briefly overlays U.S. 50 (Fairfax Boulevard) west, joining U.S. 29 (Lee Highway) north. The segments of SR 237 along Pickett Road and U.S. 50 are unsigned.
U.S. 29/SR 237 advance easterly from Fairfax along Lee Highway into Merrifield near the Capital Beltway (I-495). A partial interchange joins U.S. 29/SR 237 with the I-495 toll express lanes as Lee Highway proceeds east to Falls Church. Within the independent city, Washington Street and Lee Highway are used interchangeably along U.S. 29/SR 237. Washington Street angles northeast at Hillwood Avenue (SR 338), progressing through downtown Falls Church. U.S. 29/SR 237 enters Arlington ahead of the over crossing with Interstate 66 (Custis Memorial Parkway), where SR 237 departs U.S. 29 along Washington Boulevard.
SR 237 travels through the East Falls Church, Westover, and Lacey Forest neighborhoods, crossing back over I-66 near SR 120 (N Glebe Road). Leaving Washington Boulevard, SR 237 overlaps with N Glebe Road south two blocks to Fairfax Drive. Resuming an easterly course, SR 237 follows Fairfax Drive through central Arlington to a five point intersection with N Kirkwood Road and 10th Street N in the Clarendon neighborhood. State Route 237 overtakes 10th Street N for 12 city blocks to its end at an interchange with U.S. 50 (Arlington Boulevard) opposite Arlington National Cemetery.
