The B7073 follows the pre-bypass route of the A71 and A76 east out of Kilmarnock.
The road turns off the A735 one-way system by the Grand Hall and heads east along London Road, soon going over the Kilmarnock Water. We continue through the suburbs and under a freight railway line. The A77 bypass marks the edge of the urban area.
After going under the Kilmarnock to Carlisle railway line we run along Main Road through the village of Crookedholm. The River Irvine is then crossed, then we go over the A71 at a roundabout. The road now climbs away from the river along Mauchline Road through Hurlford. As the road becomes residential again it becomes traffic-calmed. The road levels out to enter open fields. After going over the Cumnock Water then back under the railway line we reach the end of the road, at a roundabout on the A76.
