PA Route 224

Pennsylvania Route 624 (PA 624) is a north–south state route located in southern central Pennsylvania. Its southern terminus is at PA 24 in Red Lion. The northern terminus is at PA 462 in Wrightsville near the Columbia-Wrightsville Bridge that carries PA 462 across the Susquehanna River. PA 624 is a two-lane undivided road that runs through rural areas in eastern York County. The route heads northeast from Red Lion and passes through Windsor before it comes to an intersection with PA 124 and PA 425 in Craley. PA 624 continues northeast before it turns north and follows the western bank of the Susquehanna River to Wrightsville. PA 224 was originally designated in 1928 to run from Red Lion north to U.S. Route 30 (US 30, now PA 462) in Wrightsville. The route was extended south to PA 24/PA 74 in Red Lion by 1930. In the 1930s, PA 224 was renumbered to PA 624 to avoid confusion with US 224. The south end of PA 624 was moved to its current location in the 1960s following a rerouting of PA 24.

PA 624 begins at an intersection with PA 24 in the northern portion of the borough of Red Lion in York County. From the southern terminus, the route heads northeast on two-lane undivided East High Street, passing homes. PA 624 becomes the border between Windsor Township to the north and Red Lion to the south and the name changes to Craley Road as the road runs through wooded areas. The road fully enters Windsor Township and curves east before it enters the borough of Windsor. Here, the route becomes West Main Street and runs past homes along with a few businesses. Upon crossing Penn Street, PA 624 becomes East Main Street and passes through more developed areas. The route leaves Windsor for Windsor Township again and heads east-northeast as Craley Road, running through a mix of farmland and woodland with some homes. The road crosses into Lower Windsor Township and reaches the residential community of Bittersville, where it turns north before curving back to the northeast. PA 624 runs through wooded areas with some homes before heading into farmland, passing through the community of Martinsville. The route runs through more rural land before it comes to an intersection with the eastern terminus of PA 124 and the northern terminus of PA 425 in the community of Craley, where the road passes homes and businesses.
