Near Clayhatchee, the highway briefly turns eastward as it begins a brief concurrency with SR 92. The highway turns northward at the end of the concurrency, then continues through Daleville, where it crosses U.S. Route 84 (US 84) then reaches its northern terminus at a gate on the south side of Fort Novosel.
