PA 151 heads through a mix of farmland and woodland with a few residences, reaching the community of Bocktown. Here, the route turns to the south before heading northeast through forested areas and entering Hopewell Township and becoming Gringo Road. PA 151 comes to an interchange with I-376, where it briefly widens to four lanes, and continues into the community of Gringo, passing a mix of homes and businesses. The route makes a turn east onto Laurel Road and heads through woodland. PA 151 reaches its eastern terminus at an intersection with PA 51 on the border of Hopewell Township and the borough of South Heights, just north of the Beaver/Allegheny County line.[2][3]
