Route Description
Traveling north from PA Route 18, PA 158 heads into the borough of New Wilmington, where it passes Westminster College and intersects with PA Route 208. The two routes briefly overlap eastbound; at the intersection with PA 956, the concurrency ends, and PA 158 continues northward. As it leaves the borough, it enters Mercer County and winds northeasterly through rural countryside nearly 6 miles (9.7 km) before it passes over I-80. Approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) later, the route enters the borough of Mercer, where it meets the eastern terminus of PA Route 318 just one block before its own northern terminus at the US 62/PA Route 258 concurrency.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“no arranged terror: no forcing of image, plan,
or thought:
no propaganda, no humbling of reality to precept:
terror pervades but is not arranged, all possibilities
of escape open: no route shut,”
—Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
“I fancy it must be the quantity of animal food eaten by the English which renders their character insusceptible of civilisation. I suspect it is in their kitchens and not in their churches that their reformation must be worked, and that Missionaries of that description from [France] would avail more than those who should endeavor to tame them by precepts of religion or philosophy.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
