Travel in Monroe County.
In Monroe County, besides locating the starting point of this auxiliary interstate, you'll find it travels mostly northwest on a slightly curvy pathway filled with forests on a four-lane highway. In Monroe County, expect exits for Tunkhannock-Jackson Township (1), Tobyhanna Township (3), and Coolbaugh Township (8 with its duel differences and 13). Begin your route. Your route starts at I-80's exit 293 and travels more north. The highway runs through the Pocono Mountains, but moments later passes west of Kalahari Resort and Convention Center and an interchange with PA-940 in Pocono Summit, before transiting into Coolbaugh Township and running through more forests and Pennsylvania State Game Lands Number 127 before locating a southbound entrance moments later for PA-423 near Tobyhanna. The highway interchanges PA-611 before passing Tobyhanna Army Depot before heading through the State Game Lands Number 127 near Gouldsboro State Park, with an interchange with PA-435 and PA-507.

Travel in Lackawanna County.
In Lackawanna County, the highway passes on a curvy route northwest before making its way to its northern terminus. But be mindful that after I-84 joins the Interstate, it utilizes the successor's exit numbers (heading west), although mileage continues to count upwards. In Lackawanna County, expect exits for Covington Township (20), Moscow (22), Roaring Brook Township (24, and I-84), and Dunmore (2, 1) before reaching its northern terminus at US-6 E towards Carbondale, I-81, US-6 W to PA-347 towards Binghamton, and I-81 S towards Wilkes-Barre (all unnumbered). The highway crosses the Lehigh River before passing into forested lands, before curving north before passing northbound and southbound weigh stations. The highway becomes woody with an exit to PA-307 passing into Moscow (PA) and its southbound exit at PA-690 and heads northwest through a corner of Spring Brook and Roaring Brook Townships, forest with developments, and the I-84 interchange. At this location, these two interchanges become concurrent before running through the Moosic Mountains, Dunmore, and a standard bridge into Roaring Brook before curving northwest and coming to a southbound exit with PA-435 and an interchange with Tigue St. Thereafter, it runs to a northern terminus at I-81 and US-6 and merges onto northbound I-81/westbound US-6.
