Route description

PA 970 begins at an intersection with US 322 in Bradford Township, heading north on Shawville Highway, a three-lane undivided road with two northbound lanes and one southbound lane. The road runs through a mix of fields and woods with some commercial development, with the lane configuration changing to two southbound lanes and one northbound lane as it runs near a shopping center. Farther north, the route comes to an interchange with I-80. Past this interchange, PA 970 becomes a two-lane road and continues north through agricultural areas with some woods and homes, passing through Pleasant Valley. The route heads into more forested areas and heads north-northwest, crossing a R.J. Corman Railroad line and running near a power plant before crossing the West Branch Susquehanna River into Goshen Township, where it ends at PA 879 in Shawville.^[2][3]
