The two-lane -developed, continuous paved road leads from Bathurst, Great Western Highway ( R32), Mitchell Highway ( R32), together Mid- Western Highway (R24 ) and O'Connell Road, to the north - northeast. In the interesting historical city of Sofala it crosses the Turon River and then turns northeast.

In the Ilford Ilford Road Bathurst to Castlereagh Highway ( S86 ) is reached and ends. The Bylong Valley Way forms its continuation beyond the crest of the Great Dividing Range to the Golden Highway ( S84).
