Pennsylvania Route 160 (PA 160) is a north–south state route located in Western Pennsylvania. Its southern terminus is at the Mason-Dixon line south of Wellersburg, and its northern terminus is at West High Street (formerly US 219) in Ebensburg.
Along its route, PA 160 crosses the Eastern Continental Divide and passes over CSX Transportation's Sand Patch Tunnel.
PA 160 begins at the Maryland border in Wellersburg, Somerset County, where the road continues south into that state as MD 47. From the state line, the route heads north-northwest on two-lane undivided Main Street, passing through wooded areas of homes. The road turns north and enters Southampton Township, becoming Cumberland Highway and heading through forested areas with some residences. PA 160 curves northwest and heads west through more wooded areas with some fields and homes, passing through Pleasant Union. The road continues into Larimer Township and turns northwest into open agricultural areas with some woods and residences, forming the border between Larimer Township to the southwest and Callimont to the northeast again before fully entering Larimer Township again and passing southwest of Wittenberg. The route forms the border between Larimer Township and Callimont on two more occasions before heading into more forested areas of Larimer Township and passes over CSX's Sand Patch Tunnel along the Keystone Subdivision. PA 160 turns north-northeast and runs through woods with some fields and homes, passing through Northampton Township before heading north into Brothersvalley Township. The road heads through farmland with some woodland and residences, reaching Berlin. At this point, the route becomes Cumberland Street, passing homes and turning northeast onto Main Street. PA 160 curves east and passes through more residential areas before turning northeast onto Huckleberry Highway and crossing back into Brothersvalley Township. The road heads through open agricultural areas with some woodland and homes, coming to an intersection with PA 31 in Roxbury. At this point, the route crosses into Stonycreek Township and continues through more rural areas, passing through Downey and passing under I-70/I-76 (Pennsylvania Turnpike). PA 160 heads north-northeast through more farmland and woodland with some homes, passing through Glade. The road passes to the east of Indian Lake prior to coming to an intersection with US 30 in Reels Corners, at which point it crosses into Shade Township.
