Route 2 consists of 4 parts, from South to North:

• The Eastern Harbour Crossing starting from Quarry Bay, where it joins into the Island Eastern Corridor (Route 4), across Victoria Harbour and ending at Lam Tin, then junction to Tseung Kwan O - Lam Tin Tunnel.
• The Kwun Tong Bypass succeeds the EHC at and goes along the coast of Kowloon Bay, junctions Route 5 and Route 7 and continues to Diamond Hill.
• Tate's Cairn Tunnel continues the route from Diamond Hill, cutting through Tate's Cairn to , junctioning the Sha Lek Highway.
• Tate's Cairn Highway, takes the route 2 to its terminus at Ma Liu Shui, where it joins into Tolo Highway of Route 9.

Like Route 3, Route 8, Route 9 and Route 10, most of the route consists of expressways.
