Pennsylvania Route 150 (PA 150) is a 41.1-mile-long (66.1 km) highway in Central Pennsylvania. Its northern terminus is at U.S. Route 220 in Avis, Pennsylvania. Its southern terminus is at Pennsylvania Route 26 in Dale Summit, Pennsylvania near State College, at the location of the Nittany Mall.
Since the construction of Interstate 99 in the area north of State College, the major use the southernmost portion of PA 150 is to connect traffic from the expressway to downtown State College and Pennsylvania State University (via a section of PA 26).
The names of this road include Benner Pike, Main Street, Willowbank Street, Water Street, Bald Eagle Valley Road, High Street, Bellefonte Avenue, Church Street, and Woodward Avenue. The route is also concurrent with Pennsylvania Route 144 between Bellefonte and Milesburg.
The route was signed in 1928 and in 1930, the route was paved from Hublersburg to Howard.
PA 150 begins at an intersection with PA 26 in College Township, Centre County, heading northeast on Benner Pike, a five-lane road with a center left-turn lane. The route runs through shopping areas, passing to the west of Nittany Mall. Past the Shiloh Road intersection, the road becomes a three-lane road with a center left-turn lane, heading into farmland with some development and crossing into Benner Township. At this point, PA 150 runs through agricultural areas on the grounds of State Correctional Institution – Rockview and becomes a two-lane road. The route heads north and reaches an interchange with I-99/US 220 before leaving the state prison grounds and gaining a center left-turn lane again, heading past farmland before running near commercial establishments. The road curves to the north-northwest as it runs through a mix of farmland and woodland with some businesses, becoming a two-lane road again. PA 150 crosses into Spring Township and turns northeast, heading into residential areas, becoming Willowbank Street.
