It passes the main prison and library of the prefecture before coming to an intersection with the National Route 7 (Aomori Belt Highway) near Aomori-chūō Interchange.

Continuing north, the road travels through a heavily commercialized area with access to many restaurants, a mall, and pachinko parlors.

The road then crosses into the central district of Aomori when it is carried by a bridge over the Aoimori Railway Line.

This bridge, the Aomori-chūō Ōhashi [ja], was the site of toll booths that were removed in 2006.
