Route description
Route 248 begins at an intersection with the Trans-Canada Highway (Route 1) in the community of Cornwall. Route 248 proceeds eastward along Ferry Road through Cornwall, a two-lane residential street. Crossing over Mill Creek, the route leaves the community of Cornwall for the town of Cornwall, continuing east through the flat lands near Charlottetown. Paralleling McEwens Creek, Ferry Road reaches a junction with York Point Road, where Route 248 turns north on York Point. Crossing through a rural section of Cornwall, the route runs north along the North River, soon reaching a commercial section of the town, where it enters an at-grade interchange with Route 1.
Just north of the interchange, the route intersects with the eastern terminus of Route 235 (Kingston Road). After Route 235, Route 248 crosses northwest into the town of Warren Grove, where it becomes North York River Road, a two-lane rural road. Paralleling the North River, Route 248 bends northward into a fork with the terminus of Route 225. North of Route 225, Route 248 continues north, no longer designated a collector highway, through the town of Warren Grove, soon crossing into the village of Miltonvale Park. Retaining the North York River Road moniker, Route 248 reaches the shores of the North River, crossing between the river and numerous residences on the southbound lanes.
After a curve to the northeast, the route crosses over the river and runs northeast into a junction with Route 2. This junction serves as the northern terminus of Route 248, just west of the center of Miltonvale Park.
