It follows a portion of Alameda Avenue, stretching east from SH 95 (Sheridan Boulevard) at the west city limits to Kalamath Street within the Interstate 25 (I-25) and U.S. Route 85 (US 85) interchange (I-25 exit 208).

[2][1] East of Morrison Road, Alameda Avenue was once part of SH 8, defined in 1923 along the modern US 285 corridor southwest of Denver.

As part of a large expansion of the state highway system in 1938, existing SH 74 was extended from Morrison north along SH 93 (Hog Back Road) and east on Alameda Parkway and Alameda Avenue to end at Morrison Road.

[2] The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) is currently working to replace the 112-year-old Alameda Bridge over I-25 and the South Platte River.

The work will rebuild the bridge and reconfigure the interchange with I-25 along with construction on other local roads nearby.
