Traveling 15.1 miles, Pennsylvania 842 lies wholly within Chester County between Pennsylvania 841 in West Marlborough Township and U.S. 322 Business (High Street) in downtown West Chester. The state route utilizes a one-way street couplet of Miner Street (west) and Market Street (east) in West Chester before exiting the county seat for a parallel run to the East Branch Brandywine Creek to Wawaset. West from Wawaset, the route takes on a more rural feel to Unionville, where PA 842 briefly joins PA 82. Beyond the 0.3-mile overlap at Unionville, Pennsylvania 842 ventures west to Upload and Clonmell before ending at PA 841 and Hood Road.
