Pennsylvania Route 245 (PA 245) was a 2 mile (3 km) long[1] east–west state highway located in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. Commissioned in 1928, the designation began at U.S. Route 309 in Slatington, east to Pennsylvania Route 45 in Berlinsville. The route was eliminated from the state highway system in 1946. Today, the U.S. Route 309 alignment has become PA Route 873 and the PA Route 45 designation has become PA Route 248.

It headed eastward along Mountain View Drive (modern Main Street) and crossed the Lehigh River to enter Walnutport. Here, PA 245 intersected PA Route 145. Outside of Walnutport, PA 245 traversed Lehigh Township on a northeasterly alignment. The highway terminated at an intersection with PA Route 45 (now PA Route 248) in Berlinsville.[2][3]
