It heads east through rural wooded terrain for several miles to enter the Spaniard's Bay town limits, and Tilton, to have an interchange with Route 75 (Veterans Memorial Highway). The highway passes through neighbourhoods before coming to an end at an intersection with Route 70 (Conception Bay Highway).[1]
