Pennsylvania Route 669 (PA 669) is a 5.82-mile-long (9.37 km) state highway located in Somerset county in Pennsylvania. The southern terminus is at the Maryland state line in Elk Lick Township, where Maryland Route 669 (MD 669) and Springs Road cross the state line from U.S. Route 40 Alternate (US 40 Alt.). The route heads along Springs Road and Ord Street through its rural and residential alignment. The northern terminus is at the intersection with US 219 (Grant Street) in the borough of Salisbury. The route was designated in 1963, and a renumbered MD 417 was soon matched up over the state line in Maryland.
PA 669 begins at the state line as a continuation of MD 669 in the community of Elk Lick Township, Pennsylvania. The route progresses northward as Springs Road, passing through the rural regions of southern central Pennsylvania. Around the intersection with Ash Hill Road, the highway passes a light demographic of homes, but as PA 669 turns to the northwest at Upper Springs Road, begins to grow. The highway enters the community of Springs, Pennsylvania, a portion of Elk Lick Township. Through Springs, PA 669 becomes surrounded by light forestry and residences, turning to the north once again at an intersection with Shoemaker Hill Road. For a short stretch after Shoemaker Hill Road, PA 669 becomes a rural highway, crossing through fields. However, this changes as the highway enters the community of Niverton. In Niverton, PA 669 passes some residences and a large lumber yard, but after curving eastward at Fisher Road and Savage Road, Springs Road and PA 669 return to their rural nature.
