Pennsylvania Route 711 (PA 711) is a 55-mile-long (89 km), north–south state highway located in Fayette, Westmoreland and Indiana counties in Pennsylvania. The southern terminus is at US 119/PA 201 in Connellsville. The northern terminus is at PA 403 in East Wheatfield Township.
PA 711 goes by many names along its route. The names include Crawford Avenue, Snyder Street, Springfield Pike, Main Street, Ligonier Street, Stahlstown-Ligonier Road, Market Street, Market Street Extension, 13th Street, Second Street, Charles Road, and Indian Creek Valley Road.
Even though its signed north–south along its route, the route in Fayette County takes a more east–west direction, and most of the rest of the route in Westmoreland and Indiana counties goes more of a southwest-northeast direction.
The route begins at an intersection of US 119 and PA 201 in the western part of Connellsville. The route goes east from the town to PA 381 in the village of Normalville, and begins a concurrency that spans for a 8 miles (13 km) before the route enters Westmoreland County.
The route continues its concurrency with PA 381 for another 2 miles (3.2 km) until it splits at Jones Mills. As soon as the concurrency ends, the route has another short concurrency with PA 31 from Jones Mills to the town of Donegal. Continuing on PA 31 will take you to the Pennsylvania Turnpike, where the Donegal Exit (Exit 91) lies very close to PA 711 (Signage on the Turnpike shows this as a route to PA 711). After PA 711 itself passes over the Pennsylvania Turnpike, the route passes through Donegal, and heads northeast to the village of Stahlstown, where it has an intersection with PA 130. The route continues northeast to the town of Ligonier, where it intersects with US 30. After passing through town, the route continues northeast to PA 271 in the village of Oak Grove. The route heads north to the village of West Fairfield, where the route starts to parallel the Conemaugh River, and pass through the towns of New Florence and Seward. In the town of Seward, the route has a concurrency with PA 56, where it continues to Indiana County.
