The southern terminus of SR 193 is located at the western terminus of the Fort Morgan ferry in eastern Dauphin Island. From this point, the route travels in a westerly direction before turning to the north off the island across the Gordon Persons Bridge spanning the Mississippi Sound. From this point, the route travels across Mon Louis Island, over Fowl River, and continues onward in a northerly direction, where it has a full cloverleaf interchange with I-10 at exit 17 before reaching its northern terminus at US 90 in Tillmans Corner.{{google maps |url=https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Mobile+Bay+Ferry/30.5966585,-88.1669998/@30.3850402,-88.0733078,11z/data=!4m6!4m5!1m2!1m1!1s0x0:0x4a2354f753530fee!1m0!3e0|accessdate=July 25, 2016}}
