Signed as National Route 7, it is a bypass that travels to the south of the central district of the city.
While heading east, the highway intersects several roads that lead to and from the center of Aomori, including National Route 103 and Aomori Prefecture Route 120.
After the intersection with National Route 103, the highway begins slowly curving to the northeast and eventually to the north.
About 2 kilometers (1 mi) north of this split the Aomori Belt Highway terminates at an intersection with National Route 4.
