Overlaying Kietzke Lane, the state route branches north from U.S. 395 Business (South Virginia Street) around the east side of the Reno-Sparks Convention Center to Moana Lane. Commercial frontage ranging from auto dealerships, retail stores and industrial businesses line much of the route north to the bridge across the Truckee River.The northern extent curves east to end at the Kietzke Lane intersection with Galletti Way. Galletti Way straddles the Sparks city line north to Business Loop I-80 (E 4th Street / Prater Way) adjacent to a diamond interchange with Interstate 80.
