In White Pine, the highway passes some residences and intersects with Lick Run Road, where the route makes an abrupt turn to the east through farms.

In Beech Grove, PA 184 makes several curves before heading eastward until the intersection with Taylor Road, where the highway turns to the northeast and enters the hamlet of Steam Valley.

[8] Early plans were to build an interchange south of PA 184, which would mean that southbound travelers would have to backtrack to access local businesses.

Per a suggestion by the Fry family, owners of a local restaurant, the design was changed to realign PA 184 to the north and build a full interchange.

As a result, a few homes belonging to members of the Fry family would be in the way of the new roadways, and the buildings were moved to nearby family-owned land.
