Running for 8.2 miles (13.20 km) as a two-lane highway, the road runs from SR-198 in Payson north to Benjamin, before heading west toward Spanish Fork and terminating at SR-156. The road was placed under state jurisdiction in the 1930s.

Past I-15/US-6, the road exits the street grid of Payson and enters that of Utah County's, becoming 3200 West.
