[edit] Route description

PA 568 begins at an interchange with US 222 and PA 272 northeast of Adamstown. The route progresses to the east, meeting Pennsylvania Route 625 in the Brecknock Township hamlet of Knauers. After a small dip to the southeast, PA 568 turns to the northeast, paralleling the Allegheny Creek to the Robeson Township line.

One mile into Robeson, PA 568 passes under Interstate 176, the Morgantown Expressway, before merging with Pennsylvania Route 10 to form a concurrency southward for roughly 400 feet. After breaking from PA 10, PA 568 takes on a more north-south alignment as it follows the path of the Allegheny to the hamlet of Gibraltar, where PA 568 ends at PA 724.
