Route C625 starts at an intersection with B66 and runs north to Dennes Point, near the northern tip of the island. From there it turns south along the western shore as Nebraska Road and Killora Road until it reaches Quarantine Bay, where it turns east to eventually end a loop at an intersection with itself on Bruny Island Main Road.
