I-90 in West Springfield
U.S. Route 6N (US 6N) is a 28-mile-long (45 km) auxiliary route of U.S. Route 6 located in Erie County, Pennsylvania. The western terminus is at U.S. Route 20 in West Springfield a half-mile north of Interstate 90 exit 3. Its eastern terminus is at U.S. Route 6 and U.S. Route 19 west of Mill Village.
US 6N begins at an intersection with US 20 in Springfield Township, heading southeast on a four-lane divided highway. The road heads through wooded areas and reaches an interchange with I-90. From here, US 6N continues south, narrowing to a two-lane undivided road and crossing under the Bessemer and Lake Erie Railroad before running through forested areas with some fields and homes. The road crosses the Conneaut Creek into Conneaut Township and passes through Cherry Hill, continuing south through a mix of farmland and woodland with a few residences. The route curves southeast and intersects PA 226, at which point it turns east. US 6N passes through more rural areas as it comes to a junction with the southern terminus of PA 215. The road continues east into Albion, where it becomes West State Street and passes homes. The route intersects PA 18, at which point that route turns east for a concurrency with US 6N on East State Street, passing through the commercial downtown and crossing the Bessemer and Lake Erie Railroad. The road passes through more residential areas, briefly crossing back into Conneaut Township before coming into Elk Creek Township and becoming an unnamed road that runs through rural areas. PA 18 splits from US 6N in Wellsburg by heading to the north, and US 6N continues east through areas of farms and woods with some homes. In the community of Lavery, the route crosses PA 98.
