The project will be a 9 mile long, four-lane divided controlled access highway. It will begin northwest of Nelsonville adjacent to Haydenville. It will then proceed in a northeasterly direction north of Nelsonville and south of Buchtel. It will end at Doanville which is located just northwest of New Floodwood, tying back into the existing 4-lane divided U.S. Route 33 approximately 1.2 miles east of SR691.
