Once out of Santiago city limits, the highway continues southwesterly through Peñaflor, Talagante, and El Monte. The highway passes close to Pomaire before reaching the city of Melipilla. It then runs west and crosses the Sepultura Pass, which straddles the border between Santiago Metropolitan Region and Valparaíso Region.
