The road passes through a mix of farmland and woodland, turning to the north before heading northwest and coming to a bridge over I-76 (Pennsylvania Turnpike). The route winds through more rural areas before heading west and coming to the community of Hustontown. At this point, the road continues a short distance west as Pitt Street to connect to PA 655 and PA 475 turns northeast onto North Clear Ridge Road, becoming the border between Taylor Township to the west and Dublin Township to the east. The road passes through rural areas of homes prior to heading into a mix of agricultural and wooded areas with some homes, passing through Clear Ridge.[2][3]
