Fayette County as it enters
Pennsylvania just south of
Point Marion in
Fayette County US 119 enters
Pennsylvania from
Monongalia County, West Virginia just south of
Point Marion, Pennsylvania. On Morgantown Road for most of its route south of
Uniontown, it travels north through Point Marion. The highway leaves Port Marion, crossing
Cheat River at its
confluence with the
Monongahela River. Route 119 then turns toward the east-northeast and heads toward
Smithfield. To the northeast of Smithfield, Morgantown Road intersects with Big Six Road, which provides access to
PA 43 at exit 8. This begins a section of the highway that runs parallel to two other highways, PA 43 and
PA 857, till the PA 857 terminus at the Uniontown bypass in
South Union Township. US 119 merges with
US 40 to form part of the
George C. Marshall Parkway, which bypasses the city of Uniontown to the west and north. Exits along the US 119 section of the bypass include Walnut Hill Road;
McClellandtown Road (
PA 21); Main Street (US 40 West and US 40 Bus), the north end of concurrency with US 40; Pittsburgh Street (
PA 51); N. Gallatin Avenue; and Connellsville Road. Shortly after the Connellsville Road exit, US 119 passes
Penn State Fayette, The Eberly Campus. Eleven miles northeast of Uniontown and six miles (10 km) north of
Pennsylvania State University, US 119 enters the city of Connellsville. Route 119 becomes a
one-way pair of 8th and 9th Streets in western Connellsville. After intersection
PA 201/
PA 711 (West Crawford Avenue), US 119 crosses the
Youghiogheny River via the Memorial Bridge, one of two bridges in Connellsville. The highway leaves Connellsville as Memorial Boulevard and heads north intersecting with the southern terminus of
PA 982 (Pleasant Valley Road). North of Pleasant Valley Road is a
trumpet interchange with
Everson Valley Road. Just north of this intersection, US 119 leaves Fayette County, having spent in Fayette County.
Westmoreland County The highway enters
Westmoreland County in
East Huntingdon Township. US 119 continues north between the boroughs of
Scottdale and
Mount Pleasant. East of Scottdale, US 119 has an exit with
PA 819 signed for the two communities, and then west of Mount Pleasant is an interchange with
PA 31, which also provides access to
PA 981. Five and a half miles north of Mount Pleasant, just west of
Youngwood, US 119 traffic must exit the expressway at a full
cloverleaf interchange (straight ahead is the beginning of
PA 66 North), immediately to the east of connections to the
Pennsylvania Turnpike and
I-70. After leaving the expressway, US 119 enters Youngwood as Hellman St., which becomes the one-way pair of 3rd and 4th Sts. Shortly after leaving Youngwood, US 119 intersects the
Lincoln Highway (
US 30), which bypasses
Greensburg to the west and south. Route 119 becomes Main St. at this point and travels through downtown Greensburg. At
PA 130, Pittsburgh St., US 119 turns to the right and leaves Greensburg as Harvey Ave and heads to the northeast toward the historical
Hannastown. Once leaving Greensburg US 119 becomes a two-lane road predominantly again for the first time since joining the Uniontown bypass nearly south. After passing Hannastown, US 119 continues to the northeast to merge with the
William Penn Highway (
US 22). The concurrency runs to the east-northeast toward
Blairsville where US 119 leaves Westmoreland County after spending in the county.
Indiana County with
Homer City Generating Station visible is the distance. US 119 enters
Indiana County in the borough of
Blairsville after crossing the
Conemaugh River. US 119/US 22 bypasses the borough to the north and heads to the end of the concurrency in
Burrell Township. US 119 then takes a more northerly path as the Buffalo-Pittsburgh Highway. While the portion of US 119 between
Blairsville and
Homer City was a two-lane segment until recent years, this portion of the highway has been widened to four lanes. Seven miles north of the William Penn Highway, US 119 enters Homer City and merges with
PA 56. PA 56 leaves US 119 when the highway intersects the
Benjamin Franklin Highway (
US 422) south of
Indiana. US 119 then becomes an eastern bypass of the borough. The only exit on the bypass is the Philadelphia St. exit at
PA 286. Immediately after passing Indiana, the Buffalo-Pittsburgh Highway becomes a two-lane road again north of an interchange with
PA 110 and continues to
Home. In Home, US 119 is the eastern terminus of PA 85. US 119 continues north through rural northern Indiana County before leaving the county in
North Mahoning Township after travelling in the county.
Jefferson and Clearfield counties US 119 enters
Jefferson County in
Young Township. Just north of the Jefferson County border, the Buffalo-Pittsburgh Highway intersects
PA 436. After entering
Punxsutawney, the home of
Punxsutawney Phil, the route merges with
PA 36 at Mahoning St. US 119 is concurrent with PA 36 for four blocks before making a left turn on Hampton Ave. Route 119 leaves Punxsutawney shortly thereafter as Ridge Ave. and heads east toward
Big Run. Before reaching Big Run, US 119 passes the Punxsutawney Municipal Airport in
Bell Township. After passing through Big Run as Main St., the Buffalo-Pittsburgh Highway turns to the north-northeast toward
Sykesville, PA. Shortly after leaving Sykesville, US 119 leaves Jefferson County and enters
Clearfield in
Sandy Township south of

US 322, US 119 ends at
US 219 just south of DuBois. US 119 spends in Jefferson County and less than in Clearfield County. ==History==
