The project consisted of a distributor road of approximately 4km length. The alignment runs from R126 Hearse Road on the southwest of Donabate village, heading in an easterly direction, crossing the Dublin-Belfast railway line, then heading in a northerly direction to reconnect with R126 Portrane Road. Construction of the scheme consisted of constructing the distributor road as a single carriageway for the entire length.

There is a bridge over the Dublin-Belfast railway line which was constructed for a full dual carriageway development of the scheme.
