Pennsylvania Route 549 (designated by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation as SR 549) is a 19.15-mile-long (30.82 km) state highway located in Tioga and Bradford counties in Pennsylvania. The southern terminus is at U.S. Route 6 in Richmond Township near Mansfield. The northern terminus is at Route 328 in Wells Township. Route 549 was first designated in 1928 onto the current alignment from Richmond Township and U.S. Route 6 to an intersection with then-Route 826 in Wells Township. This was changed in 1941 to extend to the New York state line nearby, but was extended and truncated twice between 1946 and 1961. In 1961, it was truncated to its current alignment.
Route 549 begins at an intersection with U.S. Route 6 (East Roosevelt Highway) just east of Mansfield, Pennsylvania in Richmond Township. The route progresses northeast as Roseville Road, crawling through farms for a distance until the intersection with Tickner Lane, where it curves north. Entering Rutland Township, Route 549 remains rural, curving eastward and soon southeastward into the community of Roseville. Through Roseville, the road remains two-lane and passes residences and businesses before leaving just east of Pumpkin Hill Road. Route 549 forks to the northeast at an intersection with Sopertown Road, which heads into Bradford County and becomes Quadrant Route 4033. The highway parallels the Bradford County line for a distance, remaining primarily rural. After the intersection, Route 549 turns due north and soon to the northwest, entering the hamlet of Jobs Corners. Jobs Corners is small, with Route 549 passing some residences before turning to the northeast out of the hamlet. A short distance later, the highway enters Daggett and passes a small strip of buildings through downtown. The highway curves to the northwest at a gravel pit and turns northeastward once again, crossing the county line into Bradford County.
