From its western terminus SR 794 heads southeast along East Winnemucca Boulevard (concurrent with I‑80 Bus.)

to cross East 4th Street and pass under a moderately low railroad overpass[Note 1] (that carries a single set of Union Pacific Railroad tracks) before reaching an intersection with East Haskell Street/Fairgrounds Road.

After connecting with the north end of Rim Rock Drive,[Note 2] SR 794 curves to very briefly head east before curving north and connecting with I‑80 at a diamond interchange (Exit 180).

On the north edge of the interchange East Winnemucca Boulevard becomes Pedroli Avenue, which promptly curves the west and quickly arrives at the eastern terminus of SR 794 at a cattle guard.

The road continues westerly as Pedroli Lane, being still paved for a short distance farther as it heads toward a nearby farm.
