Pennsylvania Route 737 (PA 737) is a state highway in Berks County, Pennsylvania. The route runs from U.S. Route 222 (US 222) in Kutztown north to PA 143 in Albany Township. PA 737 heads north from an interchange with the US 222 Kutztown Bypass north of Kutztown on Krumsville Road. It continues north through a small part of Maxatawny Township into Greenwich Township. The road features an interchange with Interstate 78 (I-78)/US 22 near the village of Krumsville. PA 737 then heads northwest into Albany Township where it ends at PA 143 near the village of Kempton.
PA 737 was assigned to a formerly un-designated local road between Kutztown and Kempton in 1962. Around that time, US 222 served as the southern terminus in downtown Kutztown. When the Kutztown Bypass was constructed in the 1970s, US 222 was realigned off of Main Street in Kutztown and onto the bypass. The road, at that point, ended at the now locally maintained Main Street until 1978, when the designation was truncated. Since then, the route has remained on the same alignment. Two bridges along the route between Kutztown and Krumsville were replaced in 2011. There are plans to reconstruct the interchange with I-78/US 22 into a diamond interchange, shifting the route slightly to the east.
