Pennsylvania Route 33 (PA 33) is a 27.7-mile-long (44.6 km) limited-access state highway in eastern Pennsylvania, United States. It runs from an interchange with Interstate 78 (I-78) just south of Easton to I-80 and PA 611 west of Stroudsburg. Until 2003, the route's southern terminus was at U.S. Route 22 (US 22), and the extension south of the US 22 interchange is known as the Gen. Anthony Clement McAuliffe 101st Airborne Memorial Highway. The route is commonly used as a hazmat bypass for the Pennsylvania Turnpike's Northeast Extension due to the restrictions in place on the Lehigh Tunnel.
PA 33 begins at a trumpet interchange with I-78 in southern Northampton County. Just north of this interchange, the route crosses the Lehigh River on the Gene Hartzell Memorial Bridge. After this crossing, the highway briefly cuts through the southwestern tip of the city of Easton. PA 33 then bends to the north and shares interchanges with Freemansburg Avenue and William Penn Highway. North of here, the highway intersects its former southern terminus, US 22, at a cloverleaf interchange.
