Pennsylvania Route 136 (PA 136) is a 40-mile-long (64 km) state highway located in Washington, Allegheny, and Westmoreland Counties in Pennsylvania. The western terminus is at US 40 & PA 18 in Washington. The eastern terminus is at US 30 in Greensburg.
PA 136 was established in September 1964 to replace the stretch of PA 31 from Greensburg to Washington while the section west of Washington was re-designated as PA 844.
PA 136 begins at an intersection with US 40/PA 18 in Washington, Washington County, heading east on two-lane undivided West Beau Street. The road heads through the commercial downtown of Washington, becoming East Beau Street at the Main Street junction. The route intersects the one-way pair carrying US 19 as it passes through the Washington & Jefferson College campus. PA 136 heads into residential areas and enters East Washington, turning to the northeast. The road heads into South Strabane Township and comes to an interchange with I-70/I-79, at which point it becomes a divided highway. Past this interchange, the route becomes undivided again and passes a few businesses before continuing past more homes. PA 136 winds east through areas of woods and housing developments before heading through a mix of farmland and woodland with a few residences. The road becomes the border between North Strabane Township to the north and South Strabane Township to the south as it heads into more industrial areas as an unnamed road. The route passes over a CSX railroad line and comes to an intersection with PA 519, at which point it crosses into Somerset Township. PA 136 continues east through areas of farms and woods with occasional homes. The road winds to the northeast and becomes the border between Nottingham Township to the north and Somerset Township to the south, passing through Dunningsville. The route heads east through more agricultural areas with a few woods and residences, heading southeast into more wooded areas of homes, running through Kammerer. PA 136 turns northeast and fully enters Somerset Township again, running through more rural areas. The road becomes the border between Nottingham Township and Somerset Township again. The route forms the border between Nottingham Township to the north and Fallowfield Township to the south as it curves northeast again and continues through more wooded areas with some fields and homes. PA 136 turns east and heads through residential areas, turning southeast onto Dry Run Road as it becomes the border between Carroll Township to the north and Fallowfield Township to the south. A short distance later, the road comes to Ginger Hill and intersects the northern terminus of PA 917.
