, where it intersects with US 322. The two routes join together and continue eastward nearly 0.3 mile (0.482802 km) where US 322 leaves northward. Route 58 continues eastward, then turns southeasterly, and about 6 miles (9.7 km) later, joins PA Route 18
just north of the Greenville
borough line. The concurrency continues 0.4 mile (0.643736 km) into the borough to its junction with PA Route 358
. The three routes form a concurrency and head westward – this segment is what is known as a “reverse concurrency,” because Route 58 is signed east at the same time that Route 358 is signed west. The concurrency lasts only a quarter mile, and then Route 58 leaves the concurrency, heading south-southeast nearly 15 miles (24.1 km) to the borough of Mercer
. Here, the route first meets the US 19/US 62 concurrency. The three routes form a concurrency south 0.2 mile (0.321868 km) to the intersection of PA Route 258
. At this complex intersection, the concurrency ends, US 62 continues westward, concurrent with Route 258, US 19 continues south, and Routes 58 and 258 join to the east. Also at this point, the Route 58/Route 258 concurrency is split – eastbound follows S. Diamond St., and westbound follows N. Diamond St. in the middle of town. At the east end of the “square,” the concurrency ends as Route 258 heads southward and Route 58 continues east, then later turns southeast. It crosses both I-80 and I-79 near the interchange of the two interstates, just over 4 miles (6.4 km) from Mercer, and enters the borough of Grove City
about 4.5 miles (7.2 km) later. In Grove City, the route intersects with the southern terminus of the PA Route 173
/PA Route 208
concurrency, and overlaps with Route 173, continuing southeast. About 0.3 mile (0.482802 km) later, the concurrency ends; Route 173 continues south, and Route 58 continues southeast just over 3 miles (4.8 km) to the Butler county line after spending 39 miles in Mercer County.
