The parkway travels in an east to northeastward direction from US 1, with a partial cloverleaf interchange at Valley Ridge Road followed by a single-point urban interchange at Crosswater Parkway. Finally, the parkway has an intersection with Davis Park Road, ending the freeway, and becoming Palm Valley Road.

The construction included clearing and grubbing, storm drainage, construction of single and double barrel box culverts, the construction of 8 bridges, transmission/distribution utility installations, drilled shaft construction, MSE wall, installation of concrete curb, sidewalk, medians, signalization, striping, and sodding.[3] In October 2010, the parkway was completed, a decade ahead of schedule.[4]
