From west to east, it runs from City Road in Chippendale, across the railway lines between Central and Redfern stations and east through Surry Hills, crossing the Eastern Distributor and South Darling Street, to terminate at Anzac Parade, Centennial Park. The street is named after Captain Cleveland, an officer of the 73rd regiment.
