Pennsylvania Route 181 (PA 181) is a 10-mile (16 km) long north–south state route in south central Pennsylvania. Its northern terminus is at Pennsylvania Route 382 in York Haven. Its southern terminus is at I-83 Business and U.S. Route 30 in North York.

Route description

PA 181 begins at an intersection with US 30 in Manchester Township, heading north concurrent with I-83 Business on North George Street, a four-lane divided highway. South of US 30, I-83 Business continues south toward North York. The road passes businesses before heading into residential areas. The highway passes more commercial establishments as it comes to an interchange with I-83. At this point, I-83 Business ends and PA 181 continues north, narrowing into a two-lane undivided road as it passes a mix of residences and businesses. The route passes through the community of Emigsville and comes to an intersection with PA 238, at which point the route runs a short distance to the west of a Norfolk Southern railroad line. Past this junction, the road enters more wooded surroundings and continues into East Manchester Township, where it becomes North George Street Extended. Here, PA 181 runs farther to the west of the railroad tracks and passes industrial and commercial establishments. The route enters Manchester and becomes Main Street as it is lined with homes. PA 181 forms a concurrency with PA 921 as the road passes residences and businesses in the center of town before PA 921 turns east onto Maple Street. After this, the route enters residential areas, crossing back into East Manchester Township and becoming North George Street Extended again. The road enters wooded areas of homes before it crosses the Conewago Creek into Newberry Township, where the road name becomes York Haven Road. The road passes more housing developments before entering a mix of farms and woods. PA 181 continues into York Haven and becomes Front Street as it passes more homes and comes to its northern terminus at an intersection with the eastern terminus of PA 382.^[1][2]
