Announcements

Last month I received a copy of the latest official state highway map from the Map Sales office just before the state shut down over not being able to pass a budget. These are the changes since the 2006 edition:

Allegheny County/Washington County/Pittsburgh Inset
PA Turnpike 576 completed between US 22 and PA 60

Berks County
US 222 indicated as complete now with the red expressway stripe between PA 272 and Shillington

Fayette County
PA Turnpike 43 under construction north of US 40 from US 119 to Brier Hill

Tioga County
US 15 under construction from PA 287 to the New York state line

Altoona Inset
Osgood Drive completed on the eastern side of I-99/US 220 between Exit 32 and Exit 33

New Castle Inset
PA 65 removed between PA 108/PA 168 and Business US 422

It has the same dimensions as the the previous year's and this year's cover features a view of America's Most Livable City, with a man creating a mural in chalk on the West End overlook. You can view the map at PennDOT's GIS page.
