Route Description
PA 201 begins at an intersection with US 119 and PA 711 in western Connellsville. Named Vanderbilt Road, PA 201 quickly exits the city and heads northwest toward the borough of Vanderbilt. Immediately after entering Vanderbilt, PA 201 intersects the southern terminus of PA 819 and continues to the south and west through the borough, becoming Flatwoods Road to the west. In Perry Township, just south of Star Junction, PA 201 intersects PA 51 at a cloverleaf interchange. West of this point, PA 201 takes a more northerly route toward Fayette City.
In Fayette City, PA 201 runs north as the one-way pair of Main and 2nd Streets, then heads north toward Lynnwood and Pricedale. In Pricedale, PA 201 becomes Rostraver Road and serves a shopping center before intersecting I-70 at exit 43. Now in Westmoreland County, PA 201 turns northeast toward West Newton. The route passes the Mon Valley Education Center of Westmoreland County Community College and Belle Vernon Area High School before intersecting PA 51 again at a partial interchange. The route continues for another couple miles before ending at an intersection with PA 136 less than a quarter of a mile west of West Newton.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space—out of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“The great object in life is Sensation—to feel that we exist, even though in pain; it is this “craving void” which drives us to gaming, to battle, to travel, to intemperate but keenly felt pursuits of every description whose principal attraction is the agitation inseparable from their accomplishment.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
