The freeway begins traveling east as a continuation of the eastbound [[Algonquin Bridge]], at the intersection of [[Kunzite Street]] in [[Star Junction]].

The freeway continues eastward, traveling through [[Schottler]] in northern Broker. It passes under Stillwater Avenue prior to reaching the second junction at [[Saratoga Avenue]], which connects to [[Willis]] in Dukes or [[Beechwood City]] in Broker, depending on whether you travel north or south. Immediately after, the largest junction in the city connects to Francis International Airport and interchanges with the [[Broker-Dukes Expressway]], where the Algonquin - Dukes Expressway ends.

The Algonquin - Dukes Expressway is a 1.1 mile freeway that connects Algonquin to Dukes in Liberty City in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, with three intersections in Liberty City. It connects Algonquin Bridge with the Francis International Airport via northern Broker and southern Dukes.

Of all the Expressways in Liberty City, the Algonquin-Dukes Expressway possesses the most freeway-like features, with sophisticated exit/entrance infrastructure and isolation from road networks. It is also the only expressway with hard shoulders. Other Expressways do possess these features, but not for their full lengths.

It is most likely based on the Midtown-Queens Expressway being part of the Long Island Expressway in New York City. The fact that Algonquin Bridge carries the expressway is based on the planned-but-unbuilt Lower Manhattan Expressway.

Traffic is light throughout the Expressway.
