[edit] Route description

[edit] Mercer County

Route 58 travels eastward from the Ohio state line in northwestern Mercer County just over 4 miles to the borough of Jamestown, where it intersects with US 322. The two routes duplex and continue eastward nearly 0.3 miles where US 322 leaves northward. Route 58 continues eastward, then turns southeasterly, and about 6 miles later, joins PA Route 18 just north of the Greenville borough line. The duplex continues 0.4 miles into the borough to its junction with PA Route 358. The three routes form a triplex and head westward – this segment is what is known as a “reverse multiplex,” because Route 58 is signed east at the same time that Route 358 is signed west. The triplex lasts only a quarter mile, and then Route 58 leaves the multiplex, heading south-southeast nearly 15 miles to the borough of Mercer. Here, the route first meets the US 19/US 62 duplex. The three routes form a triplex south 0.2 miles to the intersection of PA Route 258. At this complex intersection, the triplex ends, US 62 continues westward, duplexed with Route 258, US 19 continues south, and Routes 58 and 258 form a duplex to the east. Also at this point, the Route 58/Route 258 duplex is split – eastbound follows S. Diamond St., and westbound follows N. Diamond St. in the middle of town. At the east end of the “square,” the duplex ends as Route 258 heads southward and Route 58 continues east, then later turns southeast. It crosses both I-80 and I-79 near the interchange of the two interstates, just over 4 miles from Mercer, and enters the borough of Grove City about 4.5 miles later. In Grove City, the route intersects with the southern terminus of the PA Route 173/PA Route 208 duplex, and duplexes with Route 173, continuing southeast. About 0.3 miles later, the duplex ends; Route 173 continues south, and Route 58 continues southeast just over 3 miles to the county line.

[edit] Butler County

A mile after entering Butler County, Route 58 intersects with PA Route 8 in the borough of Harrisville. The route then travels nearly 7 miles to intersect with PA Route 308. The next major intersection is about 4.6 miles later at PA Route 38 in the borough of Eau Claire. The route then travels nearly 6 miles before crossing the next county line.

[edit] Armstrong County

Route 58 has a very short stay in Armstrong County, passing through its northwestern tip. Just 0.4 miles from the county line, the route intersects with PA Route 268, and then leaves the county as it crosses the Allegheny River less than 0.1 miles later.

[edit] Clarion County

Turning northerly, the route passes through the borough of Foxburg upon entering Clarion County, and then heads northeast to enter the borough of St. Petersburg a little over 2 miles later. Here, Route 58 intersects with the southern terminus of PA Route 478, and then about 1.9 miles later, it intersects with the southern terminus of PA Route 338 at the village of Alum Rock. The route then winds southeastward 5.3 miles to intersect with the eastern terminus of PA Route 368 just east of the borough of Callensburg. Route 58 then travels east-southeast nearly 3.5 miles to its terminus at PA Route 68 in the borough of Sligo
