The route heads through residential and business areas, curving southeast along East Brinton Avenue through more areas of homes. The road heads into North Huntingdon Township and becomes Trafford Road, turning east at Cavittsville and runs through woods, crossing the Brush Creek before passing a field and turning southeast into wooded areas with some development, with the creek winding across the road, crossing it three times. PA 993 runs through Ardara, at which point it runs a short distance to the east of a Norfolk Southern's Pittsburgh Line. The route passes through more forested areas, curving south onto Water Street and passing under the railroad line near residential Larimer, at which point it crosses the Brush Creek and again winds southeast along the creek. The road passes through more woodland with some industrial development, turning east and continuing into Irwin. PA 993 passes homes and businesses, turning south onto Main Street, where it passes more businesses. The route heads east onto 3rd Street and heads through residential areas. Crossing back into North Huntingdon Township, the road becomes Broadway Street and passes through woods before running through areas of homes and industry in Shafton.
