It runs from Van Vlissingen Road to Marquette Drive and Lake Shore Drive (U.S. Route 41) in Chicago. On its route, it intersects 95th Street (U.S. Routes 12 and 20). It also has an onramp onto the eastbound Chicago Skyway (Interstate 90) via Anthony Avenue.

Just south of 84th Street, it can be used to access the eastbound Chicago Skyway via Anthony Avenue. Continuing north, the road intersects 67th Street and enters Jackson Park. It also changes names from Jeffery Boulevard to Jeffery Drive here. One eighth of a mile further north, it ends at Marquette Drive.
