The highway connects Pacolet and Gaffney with the more rural areas of Spartanburg and Cherokee counties.

In Gaffney, it goes through the downtown area along Limestone Street and overlaps with the Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail.

It begins at an intersection with the SC 150 mainline (Stone Street) in the northeastern part of Pacolet.

It departs the city limits again and takes Sunny Acres Road to the east-northeast.

Upon encountering the Pacolet Mills Cloth Room and Warehouse, it curves to a nearly due-north direction and reaches its northern terminus, another intersection with the SC 150 mainline (Montgomery Avenue / Limestone Street).
