NM 448 begins at the three-way intersection between Coors Road, Coors Boulevard, and Coors By-Pass in northwestern Albuquerque, heading to the north-northeast on Coors Road. Shortly after intersecting NM 528 at Alameda Boulevard, the route crosses from Bernalillo County into Sandoval County, where it is known as Corrales Road.

This segment has since been replaced by NM 45, which now includes all of Coors Boulevard south of Coors By-Pass; the portion of Coors Boulevard between Old Coors Road and St. Joseph's Drive was previously locally maintained.
