Route description

Cambria County

PA 253 begins at an intersection with PA 53 in the community of Van Ormer in Reade Township, Cambria County, heading east-northeast on two-lane undivided Executive Drive. The road heads through forested areas, turning northeast and passing through the residential community of Hollentown. The route runs through more wooded areas with some fields and homes, coming to an intersection with PA 865 in the community of Glasgow. At this point, PA 253 turns northwest to form a concurrency with PA 865 on Skyline Drive, passing a few homes. PA 253 splits from PA 865 by turning east onto Executive Drive, continuing through a mix of farmland and woodland with occasional development. The route turns northeast into more wooded areas with a few fields.[1][2]

Clearfield County

PA 253 enters Gulich Township in Clearfield County and becomes Cambria Street, passing homes in the community of Allemans before turning north into dense forests. The route comes to an intersection with PA 453 and turns northwest to join that route on Viola Pike. In the community of Viola, the road intersects PA 153 and continues through more wooded areas with some fields. PA 253/PA 453 turns north and intersects PA 729, at which point it passes between the residential community of Janesville to the west and woodland to the east. The two routes continue north-northeast through more woods with scattered farm fields, becoming Main Street and heading into Ramey. Here, the road heads northeast past homes, with PA 453 splitting from PA 253 by turning northwest onto Union Street. PA 253 runs through more residential areas, turning northwest onto Beluah Street before heading northeast onto Miriam Street. The road heads back into Gulich Township and enters forests with some fields, continuing into Woodward Township. Here, the route becomes 4th Avenue and passes through the community of Kendrick, passing farm fields before heading into wooded areas with some homes and turning to the east. PA 253 heads into Houtzdale and becomes Elizabeth Street, ending at another intersection with PA 53. At this point, Elizabeth Street continues east as PA 53.[1][3]
