The B9083 is a short B-road in north Yell, remaining in sight of the sea for its entire length.
The road starts at the south end of Cullivoe, where the road running north from Gutcher to this point changes its number from B9082 for no very apparent reason today. The original justification for the change was that at one time the B9080 (which later became the A968 and then part of an extended B9082) turned west and then southwest here to run back down to Dalsetter at the head of Basta Voe by an inland route. The Cullivoe to Dalsetter road has now been declassified and is barely more than a track but the change of road numbers at Cullivoe continues.
The road heads north through the settlement of Cullivoe and presently reaches Greenbank, where it bends sharply left then right and climbs a hill. At the top the road bends left once more to run along the island's north coast for a short distance. A quarter of a mile later the road reaches a crossroads. The B9083 ends here with the other roads unclassified. The road ahead continues for another couple of miles, only ending to avoid crossing an inlet.
