The highway runs from south to north, starting at Srogbe and passing through Lolito and Dabala before ending at the Dabala junction.
The highway begins at Srogbe where it meets the R11 Regional Highway which runs from the west through Atorkor and eastwards through Whuti and onwards through Anloga, the district capital. It proceeds in a north westerly direction through Alakple-Kome junction. It continues through a number of villages including Agortoe and Agbatsivi. It then continues into the South Tongu District.
The road continues through Nyinuto in the district and further north west through Kpodui and Lolito. After Lolito, it turns east into Dabala, known for its market. It then proceeds northwards to meet the N1 highway, meeting it at Dabala junction at the section between Sogakope in the west and Akatsi.[1] The N1 continues east on through Denu and Aflao to the border with Togo.
