Pennsylvania Route 59 (PA 59) is a 39-mile (63 km) long state highway located in northwest Pennsylvania. The route links Warren to Smethport, terminating at U.S. Route 6 at both ends. PA 59 acts as a northerly bypass to US 6, directly connecting Warren and Smethport while US 6 dips south to serve Kane and Mount Jewett.
This highway also serves the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers' Kinzua Dam and FirstEnergy's Seneca Pumped Storage Generating Station.
PA 59 begins at an intersection with US 6 in Mead Township, Warren County, heading east on two-lane undivided Kinzua Road. The road passes through areas of woods and homes in the community of Rogertown, turning to the northeast. The route heads into the Allegheny National Forest, running along the southeastern bank of the Allegheny River. PA 59 turns east and passes south of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers' Kinzua Dam, at which point it also passes north of FirstEnergy's Seneca Pumped Storage Generating Station. The road curves north and northeast as it runs along the eastern shore of the Allegheny Reservoir. The route heads east and crosses Kinzua Bay near the Kinzua Point information center.
