PA 555 begins at an intersection with PA 255 in Jay Township, Elk County, heading northeast on two-lane undivided River Road. The road heads through rural residential areas, passing through the community of Weedville and turning to the east. The route winds through forested areas, running to the north of the Bennett Branch Sinnemahoning Creek and a Buffalo and Pittsburgh Railroad line. PA 555 passes through Caledonia and heads through more wooded areas with occasional fields, crossing into Benezette Township and becomes an unnamed road, curving to the northeast. The road runs through Medix Run and continues through forests, heading northwest before turning east and coming to Benezette. The route winds east-northeast through more rural areas, passing through Grant and Dents Run.^[1][2]
