Route description

PA 906 northbound in Rostraver Township

PA 906 begins at an intersection with

Mon Subdivision railroad line and the Monongahela River. The route becomes Fayette City Road and heads into the borough of Belle Vernon, where it heads farther from the railroad line and river as it runs past homes and industrial areas. PA 906 becomes Main Street as it continues through residential areas with a few businesses.[2][3]

After leaving Belle Vernon, the road comes to an interchange with

Donora-Monessen Bridge.[2][4]

After this, the route narrows into a two-lane undivided road and turns northeast, passing under the bridge. PA 906 becomes an unnamed road and heads through more wooded areas at the bottom of a cliff with the CSX line and the Monongahela River paralleling it to the northwest. The road, along with the railroad tracks and the river, turn to the north, with the route widening to four lanes. PA 906 comes to the community of

Donora-Webster Bridge. The one-way pair runs through more of the community before both directions of PA 906 rejoin and follow two-lane undivided North Road. The road continues northwest through more forested areas with occasional homes, with the railroad tracks and the river to the southwest. The route eventually turns more to the west.[2][4] PA 906 crosses into Forward Township in Allegheny County and becomes Rainbow Run Road, ending at an intersection with PA 136 in Milesville. At this point, Rainbow Run Road continues west as a part of that route.[2][5]
