The SH6 breaks off from National Road 1 at Milot and travels through Burrel and Bulqizë to Peshkopi.

The first section, between Milot and Klos, follows the Mat river valley, initially in a narrow cutting through the Skanderbeg range, north of Burrell in the hilly terrain in the Matsenke it often travels far from the river. From Klos, the SH6 rises around 550 metres to the Qafa e Buallit pass at 842 metres above sea level. East of this, it follows the Bulqizë valley to the Drin river, which it crosses at a narrow point. At Maqellarë, there is a junction with the road to Debar in Macedonia. There is a new by-pass at Maqellarë. From here the SH6 travels north to Peshkopi, travelling through hilly terrain far from the river once more. The first few kilometres of this road have been renovated recently.
