It travels sixteen miles between PA 51 in Chippewa Township, Beaver County and PA 288 in Zelienople.

PA 588 begins at an intersection with PA 51 in Chippewa Township, Beaver County, heading southeast on two-lane undivided Darlington Road. The road briefly runs to the northeast of PA 51 before turning east into residential areas, passing over I-376. The route heads southeast through more neighborhoods before turning northeast onto Steffin Hill Road and crossing into White Township. PA 588 passes through Steffens Hill and runs east through wooded areas near White Township Park. The road passes a few homes before passing under Norfolk Southern's Fort Wayne Line, at which point it heads into Beaver Falls. The route turns southeast onto 24th Street, curving east into commercial areas. PA 588 intersects PA 18 and turns north to form a concurrency with that route on 7th Avenue, a two-lane divided highway that passes homes. PA 588 splits from PA 18 by turning east onto four-lane divided 4th Street. The route comes to the Eastvale Bridge which carries it over a CSX railroad line before crossing the Beaver River into Eastvale and passing over a Norfolk Southern railroad line. PA 588 turns north onto two-lane undivided 2nd Avenue East and passes several homes. The road heads into North Sewickley Township and becomes Bennetts Run Road, heading into forested areas and turning east.
