PA 555 begins at an intersection with PA 255 in Jay Township, Elk County, heading northeast on two-lane undivided River Road. The road heads through rural residential areas, passing through the community of Weedville and turning to the east. The route winds through forested areas, running to the north of the Bennett Branch Sinnemahoning Creek and a Buffalo and Pittsburgh Railroad line.

The road runs through Medix Run and continues through forests, heading northwest before turning east and coming to Benezette. The route winds east-northeast through more rural areas, passing through Grant and Dents Run.[2][3]

PA 555 enters Gibson Township in Cameron County and becomes Low Grade Road, passing through the community of Hicks Run before winding southeast through the Elk State Forest. The road turns to the east and leaves the state forest, continuing through more wooded areas. The route turns northeast and passes through Castle Garden before crossing into the borough of Driftwood and becoming Bridge Street. Here, PA 555 runs through woodland with some homes, crossing the Sinnemahoning Creek and turning east-southeast onto Driftwood Avenue.
