Close
Though officially a spur route of PA 51, PA 551 is more suited as a spur route of PA 18, due to PA 551 ending at PA 18 at both ends without intersecting with PA 51 at all. (PA 51 and PA 551 come within a mile of each other near Darlington, Pennsylvania at their closest point.) While PA 18 passes through larger cities, PA 551 goes through more rural areas.
