Pennsylvania Route 516 (PA 516) is a 12.5-mile-long (20.1 km) state highway located in York County, Pennsylvania. The southern terminus is the Maryland state line in Manheim Township, where the road continues into that state as Maryland Route 86 (MD 86). The northern terminus is at PA 116 in Spring Grove. PA 516 is a two-lane undivided road that passes through rural areas in southwestern York County. The route heads northeast from the state line to Sticks, where it turns north and intersects the western terminus of PA 851 and crosses PA 216. PA 516 heads northwest and passes through Jefferson before it reaches its northern terminus.
PA 516 was designated in 1930 between PA 216 in Sticks and PA 116 south of Spring Grove. The route was extended east from Sticks to PA 616 in New Freedom in 1937. PA 516 was further extended to Interstate 83 (I-83)/U.S. Route 111 (US 111) and the western terminus of PA 851 east of Shrewsbury in the 1950s, replacing the portion of PA 616 between New Freedom and Railroad. The road between the Maryland border and Sticks was built in the 1950s and PA 516 was realigned to use it in the 1960s, with the former alignment between Sticks and I-83 becoming a western extension of PA 851.
