Route description
PA 588 begins at an intersection with
CSX's Pittsburgh Subdivision railroad line before crossing the Beaver River into the borough of Eastvale and passing over Norfolk Southern's Youngstown Line. PA 588 turns north onto two-lane undivided 2nd Avenue East and passes several homes. The road heads into North Sewickley Township and becomes Bennetts Run Road, heading into forested areas and turning east. The route heads through more wooded areas with some residences and turns to the northeast.[1][2]
PA 588 turns east and crosses
I-76 (Pennsylvania Turnpike) and heads into open agricultural areas with occasional residences. The road heads to the southeast and runs between farms to the north and woods to the south before continuing into forests. PA 588 heads east into a mix of farms and woods, crossing into Marion Township and becoming an unnamed road that passes through Fombell. The route curves to the northeast and enters open agricultural areas, curving to the northwest before a turn to the north. PA 588 continues into areas of farms and woods with some homes, turning to the east. The road continues through rural areas with some development, curving southeast as it heads into more wooded surroundings and runs to the south of Connoquenessing Creek, heading east again. The route runs near homes and industrial areas before coming to a bridge over the P&W Subdivision railroad line, which is owned by CSX and operated by the Buffalo and Pittsburgh Railroad, and the Connoquenessing Creek, at which point it continues into Franklin Township. At this point, PA 588 passes between the Zelienople Municipal Airport to the north and industry to the south.[1][2] The route enters the borough of Zelienople in Butler County and comes to an intersection with PA 288, at which point PA 588 signage ends. At this point, PA 588 becomes an unsigned highway that follows PA 288 east along West New Castle Street. The road crosses Connoquenessing Creek again and heads into industrial areas, crossing the P&W Subdivision. PA 288/PA 588 continues east through residential areas to its eastern terminus at US 19/PA 68 in the commercial downtown of Zelienople.[1][3]
