History: | Signed in 1927 from the Ohio state line to Pittsburgh and
extended to Uniontown the following year. Also in 1927, there was
another section of PA 51 signed from McConnellsburg to Gettysburg via PA 16
and PA 116. This was decommissioned in 1928.
In 1928, the route was under construction from Laurel Hill Road to Flatwoods Road and Nichols Hill Road to current PA 201 and completed the following year. In 1929, the route was moved from Montour Street, Ewings Mill Road, Forest Grove Road, Pine Hollow Road, and Broadway between Coraopolis and McKees Rocks to the current alignment. In 1930, the route was paved from current PA 201 to current PA 136. Also that year, the first section of Saw Mill Run Boulevard opened from Brownsville Road to the Liberty Tunnel. The designation was moved off Brownsville Road and Arlington Avenue onto the new highway and through the tunnel to the P. J. McArdle Roadway to keep the route complete. In 1933, the rest of it to Woodville Street opened and the designation placed on the boulevard. In 1934, the section from Desiderio Boulevard to West Elizabeth was under construction, and opened the following year. In 1946, the route was moved off Taggart Road in Beaver County. In 1949, construction began on a bypass west of Perryopolis from Star Junction to Wickhaven, and was widened from PA 201 to Star Junction. The bypass opened in 1950. In 1952, the West End Bypass opened to traffic from the Penn-Lincoln Parkway to PA 837. However, the PA 51 designation still followed Woodville Street and Wabash Street to the West End Circle until 1955. In 1953, the designation was moved out of Darlington onto a new alignment south. Work to widen and install a median began in Wickhaven and at PA 201 in 1958. A median was installed in 1958 between Braden Road and PA 251. The following year medians were installed between Star Junction and north of Uniontown at the US 119 interchange. A median was installed in 1960 between PA 201 and PA 48. In 1961, construction started on a new alignment from I-70 to PA 201, and opened the following year. A median was installed in 1962 from I-70 to Wickhaven. In 1967, the rest from Wickhaven to PA 201 was done. In 1976, the route was changed to its current alignment between Stoops Ferry and Monaca. Previous to that, it turned onto Narrows Run Road, then Brodhead Road to PA 18 and back to its current alignment in Monaca. In 1997, construction began on the interchange at the southern portal of the Liberty Tunnel, and opened to traffic on November 20, 1999. Those who drive PA 51 knew all too well that the intersection at PA 88 and Maytide Street in Pittsburgh could be a nasty bottleneck. Ideas for improving the intersection first came to light in March 1992 and right-of-way acquisition began in 1998. However, PennDOT District 11 determined that the high cost of the project combined with the minimal congestion that it would alleviate did not warrant funding, prompting five alternatives to be studied between 2002 and 2004. Costs for the alternatives ranged from $45 to $84 million, and again, the project was put on hold due to lack of funds. The design was modified again and presented at a public meeting on October 4, 2010, with final design, utility coordination, and right-of-way acquisition begun shortly after. The $19 million project began in August 2013 and will include replacement of five bridges, construction of a new bridge, upgrading signals, lighting, and sidewalks, installation of traffic cameras, as well as improving drainage and stream bank restoration. Two jughandles will be built: one for northbound traffic to turn left onto PA 88 and Glenbury Street to eliminate the logjam of left-turning vehicles and a second for southbound traffic wanting to turn left at Ivyglen Street. The projected completion is the end of 2016. |

History: | Signed in 1928. That same
year, the section from Friedens to Stoystown, Parkstown to Clapboard Run Road, current SR 3011 to Handwork Road
and Irvona to Glenhope were under construction and completed the following year.
In 1929, the section from Pender Road to Ferndale was under construction and
completed the following year. The section from Ursina
to Brook was paved and the section from Oak Ridge Road to Madera was under
construction in 1929. That part was completed the following year when the section from south of Glen Hope
to Oak Ridge Road was paved.
In 1930, the route was paved from Stoyestown to Hollsople, Ashville to Frugality, and Brook to now SR 3011 was paved. In 1931, the route was under construction from Gallitzin to Ashville and completed the following year. In 1932, the northern terminus was moved from Reedsville to Potters Mills. Also the section in Kantner was paved as well as from Blough to Landstreet. In 1967, the northern terminus was moved from US 322 in Potters Mills to its current location. The southern terminus is moved from the Maryland state line to US 219 in 1970. Traversed Johnstown on Napoleon Street, Somerset Street, Franklin Street, Main Street and left via Frankstown Road. Southbound traffic Adams Street, Bedford Street, and Vine Street. In 2004, the entire route was placed on Center Street in its entirety in Phillipsburg, instead of splitting traffic between it and Front Street. A new bridge on the route through Irvona was dedicated on July 19, 2012. The new span, which cost $3.9 million, opened in late 2011 just 70 feet upstream from the original span. The name of the bridge was chosen to memorialize a local victim from Clearfield County of the September 11 attacks in 2001: Mary Ellen Tiesi Memorial 9-11 Bridge. Ms. Tiesi perished in the South Tower of the World Trade Center in New York City. PennDOT Secretary Barry J. Schoch said, "The tales of heroism from the tragic events that unfolded on that horrific day in 2001 have left their mark on all of us. Ms. Tiesi is not just a Pennsylvania hero but also a national hero, and by dedicating this bridge in her honor and memory, her name will forever stand as a testament to courage and bravery." Her uncle worked on the construction of the original span. |

History: | Signed in 1928. That
year, the route was under construction from Hillside Road to Washingtonville and
completed the following year. In 1929, the route was built from Bear Gap to Atlas.
In 1930, the route was paved from the Mayberry Township line to the Susquehanna River, Mausdale to Hillside Road, and from Washingtonville to the current PA 44 intersection. In 1932, the route was paved from Lorson Road to PA 554 and from Elysburg to Atlas. In 1936, the route was moved off the current PA 44 alignment between Jersey Shore and Turbotville and the western terminus moved to US 15 at the Susquehanna Trail. Ten years later it was moved beyond that point to its current location near Montgomery. In 1961, the eastern terminus was moved from Ashland to Mausdale replacing the PA 45 designation and signed on Ashland Road between Mount Carmel and Ashland. In 1966, the eastern terminus was moved from PA 642 in Mausdale to its current location using the old PA 45 alignment between Mausdale and Mt. Carmel and Ashland and Nesquehoning. A median was installed in 1971 from Danville to Interstate 80. In 1992, cracks developed south of Centralia, and eventually the highway was closed. The road was shut down in early 1994. In 1999, the route was changed to bypass Centralia after years of the underground mine fire taking its toll on the highway. The route was changed to follow SR 2035, PA 901, SR 2042, SR 3002, and SR 4028 to rejoin its former route along PA 61. |

History: | Signed in 1928. That
year, the route was under construction from Armagh to the Cambria County
line, Lasky Road to the Bedford County line, and Pleasantville to Egolf
Road and completed in 1929. Also that year, the section from Egolf
Road to Spring Meadow was paved. Also in 1928, the route was paved from Spring Church to Shady
Plain.
In 1930, the route was moved from Iron Street, Walnut Street, and Main Street to Front Street, John Street, and Vine Street. In 1932, the route was paved from Shady Plain to Jacksonville Road. In 1951, construction began on a new alignment from Shearersburg to PA 356 and opened the following year. In 1959, the highway was widened and a median installed on it from Leechburg Road to Melwood Road. Until 1960, the route was came in on Johns Street and Vine Street into Johnstown. Then the route was on Washington Street, Johns Street, Main Street eastbound, Vine Street to Roosevelt Boulevard westbound, and on Bedford Street. In 1960, work began on the section from PA 601 to east of Rummel, which opened in 1961 and included widening and dividing from Geistown to PA 601. Also in 1961, a new alignment from New Kensington to Leechburg Road opened and moved the designation from going through Lower Burrell and Arnold on Locust Street, Freeport Road, and Leechburg Road to the current alignment. In 1964, the eastern terminus was moved from Cessna to its current location. In 1965, the route was moved onto the Johnstown Expressway from the Widman Street interchange to US 219 and down that expressway to Scalp Avenue when that section of expressway was completed. In 1971, a new alignment opened from Vandergrift-Leechburg Road to Vandergrift. Previously it continued on PA 356 to Labelle Vue Road, Holland Street, Longfellow Street, and Alternate PA 66. That same year construction was extended from the Bedford Street interchange to Roosevelt Boulevard. In 1972, the section from the Widman Street interchange to the Bedford Street interchange opened to traffic. Construction finished on the section of Johnstown Expressway from Somerset Street to Dale in 1973, and with that, the designation was moved onto the new highway and Roosevelt Boulevard. The Johnstown Expressway became a victim of the 1977 Johnstown Flood, when at 2:00 AM on July 20, runoff from Solomon Run cut the Widman Street exit ramp in half. When the final section of the Allegheny Valley Expressway between Exit 13 and Exit 15 opened in 1985, and PA 28 moved onto it from Freeport Road, PA 56's western terminus moved from that intersection across the New Kensington Bridge to the current terminus at Industrial Boulevard. In 1997, the route changed from the path it took from Shady Plain to Homer City via West Lebanon and Edgewood to the current path. The new route created several new multiplexes, with the most unusual with PA 156 from South Bend to Shelocta where that highway has its terminus. The original route is not forgotten as it is named Old Route 56 Highway West in Indiana County where it is SR 3056, and in Armstrong County where it is SR 2056. With PennDOT restructuring their 12-Year Transportation Program, two projects along PA 56 are now in jeopardy. The first is the relocation of the alignment near Pleasantville in West St. Clair Township to eliminate the hairpin curve locally referred to as the “Peggy Westover Curve." The section was studied in 1995 with bid letting in 2007, but now the project has moved into the reevaluate column. The second project which would involve a realignment of the route in Johnstown's West End has been deferred. A portion of hillside came crashing down onto the route in Johnstown on June 16, 2015. "It’s an unfortunate incident, but given the landscape of around our city, is something that we have seen before and probably will see again," Johnstown City Manager Carlos Gunby said. "But PennDOT and all of its resources are on it. I’ve talked with them and they are working diligently to get this stretch of 56 open to reduce the impacts of the already highly trafficked and over surged areas due to the ongoing projects we have going on in the city." The projects he was referring to were the Haynes Street Bridge replacement and Prospect viaduct rehabilitation. The roadway was closed through June 18 due to clean-up activities. A remediation project began on October 5, 2015. |

History: | Signed in 1928. In 1930, the route was moved from bypassing Aiken to running
through Aiken on the current PA 770 and PA 646 routes. In 1931, the route was
under construction between US 6 and just east of
Cornplanter and Marshburg to Custer City. The following year those
sections were finished and the route between them completely paved and the
route was straightened east of East Smethport. In 1935, the section from East Smethport to Open Brook Road
was paved. In 1936, the section from Pump Station Road to Open Brook
Road was paved. In 1938, the section from Open Brook Road to Grimes
Road was paved.
In 1941, the eastern terminus was moved from US 6 in Port Allegheny to its current location. In 1952, the route was changed to its current alignment between Marshburg and Ormsby. Originally, it used the PA 770 and PA 646 alignment. In 1964, work a new alignment between Kinzua Heights and Marshburg began due to the creation of the Allegheny Reservoir. A year later, that section opened to traffic. Prior to that, the route went north from near Kinzua Heights to Cornplanter which is now a branch of the reservoir, then in a southeastern direction to Marshburg over what is PA 321. |

History: | From 1928 to 1930, was the secrete designation for US 219
from the Maryland state line to US 119.
Signed in 1956. In 1962, the northern terminus was moved from US 22/US 30 to PA 51 in Carnot. Conceived in the 1963 Pittsburgh transportation plan, this expressway was built to connect the downtown area to the suburban areas to the west and northwest of the city. Construction began in 1965 from the West Middlesex interchange to the PA 18 interchange. The following year construction commenced on the Vanport Bridge over the Ohio River and opened the following year. In 1968, the first section opened to traffic from the West Middlesex interchange to the PA 18 interchange opened to traffic and received the PA 18 designation, as it created a bypass around West Middlesex. That same year, construction began on the section from Exit 9 to Exit 12. In 1969, construction began on the section from Exit 13 to Exit 14 while construction was extended from Flaugherty Run Road to Exit 9. The 1970s began with construction starting in Lawrence County on the section from the current PA Turnpike 60 interchange to Mitchell Road in 1970. In 1971, the second section of the expressway opened to traffic from Flaugherty Run Road to Exit 12. That same year, construction was extended from Exit 14 to a half-way point between the exit and PA 51 and the following year it was extended to near PA 51. In 1972, the section from Exit 13 to Exit 14 opened to traffic and with that the route was moved from ending at PA 978 to ending at Exit 14. In 1973, the section from the current interchange of PA Turnpike 60 to US 224 opened to traffic, while construction began on the section from that interchange to north of the town of Pulaski. Construction was extended to PA 51 from Exit 14 in 1974 and in 1975, construction was extended from north of Pulaski to the West Middlesex interchange. In 1976, the section from Exit 10 to Exit 29 at PA 51 was completely open to traffic and created what would become the end of PA 60 for almost two decades at PA 51. In that same year, the section from US 224 to Mitchell Road opened as well. The following year the expressway would from Mitchell Road to PA 18 and signal the completion of the Beaver Valley Expressway minus the section from PA 51 to US 422. In 1978, the PA 18 designation was moved back to the original route through West Middlesex. June 14, 1990 marked the beginning of the end for the "missing-link" between PA 51 and US 422. Built and maintained by the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, this section opened from PA 108 to US 422 on November 8, 1991 and the rest of the expressway on November 20, 1992. That same year, the northern terminus was moved north from I-80 to PA 18, and then seven years later, moved to its final location at Business US 62 in Sharon. Construction began on the newest part of PA 60, the Southern Expressway, in 1990 to serve the new Midfield Terminal of Pittsburgh International Airport. This 7.5 mile, $190 million section opened to traffic in September 1992. On October 17, 2005, US Senator Rick Santorum and US Representative Melissa Hart made an announcement at Pittsburgh International Airport that had been years in coming. On November 6, 2009, the Interstate 376 designation officially replaced PA 60 from US 22/US 30 to PA 18. |

History: | From 1927 to 1928, PA 61 was signed from Conneaut Lake to Meadville in
Crawford County and from Monongahela to Greensburg in Washington and
Westmoreland Counties.
Signed from 1928 to 1936 from Concordville to Chester on Concord Road, Chelsea Road, and Chinchester Avenue in Delaware County. Signed in 1963 on its current alignment. In 1983, the route suffered severe subsidence damage in the form of cracks from the Centralia mine fire south of the borough. The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources paid $500,000 to stabilize the roadway. In 1987, the Saint Clair bypass was completed and moved traffic out of the borough. Until 1991, the northern terminus was located at PA 147 in Sunbury. It was moved to its current location after the new Veterans Memorial Bridge was completed. In 1992, it was determined that the roadway south of Centralia was beyond repair, and eventually the highway was closed in early 1994. The PA 61 designation was detoured on the current PA 54 alignment between Ashland and Mount Carmel. In 1999, the adjacent Byrnesville Road, which carries the SR 2002 designation, was upgraded and now bypasses a section damaged by the underground mine fire that has been burning in Centralia since 1962. Mine subsidence caused not by fire, but water, caused issues on a section of the roadway in Northumberland in April 2012. On the afternoon of April 11, a 12-foot-long, 12-foot wide, and five-foot-deep hole opened up in the middle of the road, taking up one and a half lanes and forcing traffic onto the shoulder. PennDOT crews were on scene all day dumping rocks into the large hole, and then it was covered with concrete and the roadway opened late in the day on April 13. When body parts are found along highways, it is always a morbid discovery, but that is what crews widening the alignment near Schuylkill Haven in Schuylkill County discovered in August 2015. On August 13, workers returned to the work zone to discover heavy rains had washed away dirt from an embankment that was being excavated, exposing bone fragments and coffin nails. The area quickly turned into a crime scene, with cadaver dogs marking other places where remains might possibly be buried. It was determined that the bodies were not there due to foul play, but the Spanish flu. "Our working diagnosis is that it was related to the mass epidemic of 1918," said the Schuylkill County coroner, Dr. David Moylan III. Historical records showed the land had been a cemetery for the old Schuylkill County Poor House. Experts from Mercyhurst University in Erie collected remains including a leg, ribs, skull fragments and piece of jawbone to be sent back there for analysis. "Even if we got DNA from these bones, it would be difficult to match them up to people unless we had a cemetery record to compare them or if there were any living relatives that could help us," Dr. Alexandra Klales, post doctoral fellow and adjunct faculty at the university, said. Experts from Indiana University of Pennsylvania used ground-penetrating radar and discovered mounds that might have been mass graves, along with many individual graves. PennDOT halted project until it was determined if there were more bodies in the work area. After consulting with Doctor Moylan, the Federal Highway Administration, and the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, as well as soliciting public input, it was determined that the widening project would continue without further disturbing the property. "The human remains … will remain in place and PennDOT will take measures to ensure the [widening project] results in no further impacts to the human remains," the agency said in a statement released on October 6, 2015. |

History: | From 1928 to 1932, the designation was applied to the
current US 62 alignment between Ohio and Oil City. In 1928, the route was
under construction from Valley Road to Mercer, and completed the following year.
Signed in its current location in 1961. The route was widened and a median installed in 1965 between Rochester and Freedom. Construction would being on the next section of Ohio River Boulevard from near the California Avenue/Marshall Avenue intersection to Pennsylvania Avenue in January 1970. In 1973, this $16 million section opened to traffic with plans to continue the expressway to the Fort Duquesne Bridge. With traffic increasing on the North Shore, construction on the $8 million Phase One project to connect the two sections of Ohio River Boulevard together began in Spring 1987 from Allegheny Avenue to Western Avenue. Phase Two of the project began in January 1988, which consisted of a new interchange between the expressway and the West End Bridge. The bridge would be closed for two years while it underwent rehabilitation and new ramps were built at the northern end for the interchange. In 1992, the southern terminus was moved from Western Avenue to I-279 when the missing-link in Ohio River Boulevard was finally closed. If you were a daily commuter who used Ohio River Boulevard in the later half of the first decade of the 21st Century, you have my sympathy. Due to construction of a Super Walmart on a hillside where Dixmont State Hospital once stood overlooking PA 65 in Kilbuck Township, landslides started to become a common occurrence. The first landslide happened on April 27, 2006 after blasting loosened the soil and caused a road closure for two days, but then another happened on September 19 where an estimated 300,000 to 500,000 cubic yards of earth buried the roadway and adjacent Norfolk Southern Railroad tracks. That last one prompted the Department of Environmental Protection to force Senex Explosives to submit blasting plans before blasting; however, two of the four lanes of the roadway would remain closed for another three years. Repair work began on June 8, 2009 but had to be halted due to discovery of a damaged footer that supported the median barrier. Upon PennDOT's review of the plans and approval, work resumed in July with the southbound lanes reopening on August 3, 2009 and the northbound lanes later in that same month. Due to the unstable nature of the hillside, Walmart withdrew plans for their store in 2007 but assumed responsibility for ongoing maintenance of the site. In February 2007, the northern terminus was moved from Business US 422 to PA 108/PA 168 at Croton Avenue in New Castle. A $9.4 million reconstruction project at the Ohio River Boulevard/Marshall Avenue interchange in Pittsburgh began on July 22, 2010. Phase I included redecking of the ramp from the northbound direction of the expressway and Chateau Street to Marshall Avenue which was completed in November 2010. Phase II began on July 15, 2011 with the closure of the bridges carrying Ohio River Boulevard over the Marshall Avenue interchange for rehabilitation, and the $20 million phase was completed in November 2011. Phase III began on January 21, 2013 and included rehabilitating two structures over the Norfolk Southern Railroad line. The $14.2 million phase was completed in Fall 2013 and marked the end of work. Another landslide closed PA 65 just north of Interstate 79 in Glenfield on April 6, 2011. The southbound lanes were reopened that day after it was determined there was no danger to that side. Heavy equipment was brought in to remove a large boulder that could have fallen onto the roadway, which caused the northbound side to remain closed until April 11. |

Washington's Trail: | US 119 to US 30 |
History: | Signed in 1927 originally from the West Virginia state line
to the New York state line. In 1929, the route was paved from US 322 to Arthurs, Lucinda
to Griebel Drive, and current SR 4033 to Leaper. In 1929, the route was
under construction from New Bethlehem to Champion
Road, and completed the following year along with paving from there to
Limestone. Also in 1929, the route was under construction from Tionesta to US 6, and
completed the following year.
In 1930, the section from West Virginia to Greensburg was decommissioned in favor for the new US 119 route. In 1932, the northern terminus was moved from the New York state line to Frysburg. In 1935, the northern terminus was moved from Fryburg to Tionesta. Construction on the US 22/PA 66 cloverleaf finished in 1958. It was replaced with a Single Point Diamond Interchange (SPDI) in 2000 as part of the US 22 rehabilitation. In 1959, the route was widened from Greensburg to Clopper Street and a median installed from US 22 to north of Delmont and PA 286 to north of PA 366. In 1960, the designation was moved from Courthouse Road to bypass Kittanning on its current alignment. In 1968, route moved onto I-80 to bypass Clarion and onto its current route between Clarion Junction and Kane. That same year, the northern terminus was moved from Tionesta to its current location. A median was installed in 1982 from Ford City to US 422. Construction began on the Amos K. Hutchinson Bypass in August 1990, with the part from US 119 to US 30 opening on July 13, 1993. The remaining section to US 22 opened on December 9, 1993 and with that, the new expressway assumed the route of PA 66 and the southern terminus moved from Otterman Street in Greensburg to the cloverleaf interchange at US 119 in New Stanton. Construction began on March 24, 2000 to finish the Kittanning Bypass from US 422 north of Ford City to northeast of Kittanning which opened to traffic on December 13, 2001. The section of PA 66 north of Delmont in Westmoreland County was a particularly treacherous one for drivers during the winter due to ice; however, it was not coming from the usual source. Groundwater runoff from a coal mine or coal seam was coming to the surface, and not only damaging the roadway, but causing slick conditions which resulted in numerous accidents. The problem was corrected by digging a ditch to divert the water away from the road during a resurfacing project in the summer of 2011. It wasn't an accident, but rather a lovelorn bull and cow that forced the closure of the intersection with PA 85 in Armstrong County on morning of June 1, 2012. The couple had traveled more than two miles from Alvin Rosenberger's farm. State Police tried to corral the bovines to the shoulder with crime scene tape, while rubberneckers snapped pictures with their cell phones. "In this case, we really had to grab the bull by the horns," said Corporal Christopher Robbins. The lovers were herded into the farmer's trailer for the ride home thanks to portable fencing and a little help from the county emergency management agency and the State Farm Bureau. "Cows we can deal with – people – that’s a good way to get arrested," added Corporal Robbins. |

They were told to pull over. A search of the truck found five other Mexican men lying side by side in the back, concealed by tinted windows. Two women were riding behind the front seats. None of the occupants spoke English. |

Washington's Trail: | PA 989 to Harmony Evans City to George Washington monument |
History: | Signed in 1927 from Butler to Clarion. In 1928 the
route was extended westward to its current end at Ohio. In 1930, the sections from Arthurs to Lucinda, Wolbert Drive
to current SR 4033, and from Leeper to Crown were paved. In 1932, the route was paved between Crown and the Jefferson
County line and from Pigeon to James City.

In 1962, the northern terminus was moved from Kinzua, which is now under the Allegheny Reservoir near Kinzua Heights, to Kane. In 1968, the northern terminus was moved from Kane to its current location. At 10 AM on June 4, 2007, the 122-year-old East Brady Bridge that spanned the Allegheny River between Brady's Bend and East Brady, was demolished by explosives. It had been replaced by a span 300 feet downstream named the Sergeant Carl F. Curran II Bridge which opened on April 26. It is named in honor of a native of East Brady who was killed near Fallujah, Iraq in 2004 while serving with the Pennsylvania National Guard. |

Former Designation: | PA 443 (1928 - 1936): West Jonestown to Green Point | |
History: | Signed in 1927 from the Maryland state line to Lancaster on
the current US 222 alignment and north to Lebanon. In 1928, the
southern terminus was truncated to Lancaster. In 1929, the route was paved from West Lebanon to Mount
Ararat.
In 1932, the route was paved from Jonestown to PA 343. In 1936, the northern terminus was placed at its current location from Lancaster Street at PA 343 north of Jonestown and the southern terminus placed in Goshen. Until 1946, there was another PA 72 from US 11 to US 309 on Bridge Street, Carey Avenue, River Street, and South Street in Wilkes-Barre. In 1958, the route was placed on Queen Street for northbound traffic in Lancaster. Southbound traffic was moved onto 10th Street in Lebanon and a median was installed from Jonestown to Interstate 78 that year. In 1965, the southern terminus was moved from Goshen to its current location. In 1970, replaced PA 934 from PA 443 to Lickdale to end at that route. Six years later, the route's northern terminus was moved to Lickdale. In 1991, the section that comprises the Cornwall Bypass was upgraded to expressway standards. In 1995, the current northern terminus was selected. A year later, PennDOT studied improving the route between PA 283 and the PA Turnpike. It concluded that left turn lane/shoulder improvements, widening, and “relief routes” around the boroughs of East Petersburg and Manheim would be needed to keep PA 72 from becoming choked with traffic. However, there is a snag in the funding for this project. PennDOT released their revised 12-Year Transportation Program in 2004 and this project was deferred. |

In Spring 1962, ground was broken on a new alignment that would bypass Yatesboro, Rural Valley, Merideth and Nu Mine to the south. The new alignment opened to traffic in 1964. The project included reconfiguring the PA 839 intersection to allow the convergence of the old alignment, new alignment as well as PA 839. Also, the Cowanshannock Creek in Rural Valley had to be rerouted. After completion, the original route was proposed to become Business PA 85 but that never materialized. It wasn't an accident, but rather a lovelorn bull and cow that forced the closure of the intersection with PA 28/PA 66 in Armstrong County on morning of June 1, 2012. The couple had traveled more than two miles from Alvin Rosenberger's farm. State Police tried to corral the bovines to the shoulder with crime scene tape, while rubberneckers snapped pictures with their cell phones. "In this case, we really had to grab the bull by the horns," said Corporal Christopher Robbins. The lovers were herded into the farmer's trailer for the ride home thanks to portable fencing and a little help from the county emergency management agency and the State Farm Bureau. "Cows we can deal with – people – that’s a good way to get arrested," added Corporal Robbins. |

Former Designation: | PA 115 (1928 - 1936): Mountoursville to Hillsgrove | |
History: | Signed in 1928. In 1932, the route was paved from Forksville to Edwards
Road, Minner Road to Saxes Road, and from Colley to North Methoopany.
In 1936, the southern terminus was moved from Forksville to
Montoursville. In 1938, the section from just south of Ogdonia to
Hillsgrove was improved. In 1941, the section from just south of
Ogdonia to just north of Hillsgrove was paved.
The highway was, for lack of a better term, wrecked in the aftermath of flooding caused by Topical Storm Lee in September 2011. Due to the raging Loyalsock Creek, the roadway was "shredded" in Lycoming County north of PA 973, making travel impossible and forcing PennDOT to close the route on September 8. An emergency contract was awarded in October 2011 that encompassed repairing the road, debris and deposition removal, excavation, pipe/culvert cleaning, drainage improvements, guiderail upgrades, and new pavement began in the middle of the month on that 1.2-mile-long section and another 0.4-mile-long section north of Montoursville. The newly rebuilt sections of PA 87 opened to traffic on December 5. |

Belt System: | Broughton Road to Connor Road |
History: | In 1927, signed from Monongahela to
Erie, with the section north of
Pittsburgh, the route followed the current US 19 alignment. The
following year, it was rerouted to follow the current PA 65 alignment from
Pittsburgh to the west and the southern terminus was moved to its current location.
In 1930, the route was paved from West Brownsville to California. The designation was moved onto Library Road from Bethel Park to PA 51. The designation had been signed on Baptist Road to end at PA 51 in Brentwood prior to the construction of Saw Mill Run Boulevard. In 1935, the northern terminus was moved from PA 51 to Rochester and a year later to New Castle. In 1952, the West End Bypass opened to traffic from the Penn-Lincoln Parkway to PA 837. The route was widened and a median installed in 1958 between Freedom and Baden, Ambridge to Edgeworth, and Glenfield to Emsworth. The same work took place a year later between Baden and Ambridge. The biggest change to the route took place in 1961 when the northern terminus was moved from New Castle to its current location. In 1975, construction began on the section of expressway from Low Hill Road to US 40. This section opened in 1977. In 1983, the designation was moved onto the expressway section from Low Hill Road to US 40, and then multiplexed with US 40 to the exit with its original route. In 1984, when the newest section of the Mon-Fayette Expressway opened between Exit 32 and Exit 34, the designation was moved onto it from its route hugging the cliff along the Monongahela River. It was moved back to the original route in 1991. If you drive though the intersection at PA 51 and Maytide Street can be a nasty bottleneck. However, PennDOT is exploring making changes at that intersection. The varying plans call for building an interchange all the way to keeping the at-grade intersection but improving it with jughandles to eliminate left turns. After nearly 80 years of service, the Point Marion Bridge, or Albert Gallatin Memorial Bridge, that carried PA 88 over the Monongahela River, was deemed unsafe and construction on a replacement began on January 7, 2008. The new $21 million crossing opened on October 22, 2009, and the original was imploded on November 16, 2009. A sinkhole caused by mine subsidence led to closure of the route in Allenport on August 6, 2009. The hole was estimated at 12 feet wide and 20 feet deep and repairs took three weeks to complete. On May 13, 2011, the route was closed to traffic near Fredericktown due to a rock slide. It was not just dirt and trees that fell, but large boulders that were far too large to be removed by PennDOT equipment alone. It took until June 2 for PA 88 for the debris to be removed. Those who drive PA 88 knew all too well that the intersection at PA 51 and Maytide Street in Pittsburgh could be a nasty bottleneck. Ideas for improving the intersection first came to light in March 1992 and right-of-way acquisition began in 1998. However, PennDOT District 11 determined that the high cost of the project combined with the minimal congestion that it would alleviate did not warrant funding, prompting five alternatives to be studied between 2002 and 2004. Costs for the alternatives ranged from $45 to $84 million, and again, the project was put on hold due to lack of funds. The design was modified again and presented at a public meeting on October 4, 2010, with final design, utility coordination, and right-of-way acquisition begun shortly after. The $19 million project began in August 2013 and will include replacement of five bridges, construction of a new bridge, upgrading signals, lighting, and sidewalks, installation of traffic cameras, as well as improving drainage and stream bank restoration. Two jughandles will be built to aid PA 51 traffic, one of which for northbound vehicles wanting to turn left onto PA 88 and Glenbury Street. |

History: | Signed in 1932. That year, the route was paved from
Foglesville to Claussville and from Holbens Valley Road to Pleasant
Corners.
In 1956, the Pottstown bypass opened from south of the city to old US 422. In 1958, the route was widened and a median installed from Pottstown Pike in West Chester to Exton. In 1958, the designation was moved back to the old route, and the following year the segment from West High Street to north of the city opened. In 1964, a median was installed from Pottstown to New Berlinsville, and moved back out of Pottstown. In 1970, what would become a future part of the route opened to traffic. That section being the expressway segment from US 202 to Pottstown Pike in West Chester. In 1971, the route was widened and a median installed from Exton to Lionville. The following year the same was performed from south of Pottstown to West High Street. In 1989, the route was widened and a median installed from Lionville to the Pennsylvania Turnpike interchange. Construction began on Phase One of the Trexlertown Bypass on April 26, 2002 which involved earth moving and placement of more than one million cubic yards of earthen fill at the interchange area near Breinigsville and a replacement wetland area near Trexlertown Road and Spring Creek Road. The advance contract was necessary to allow the embankments time to settle and compress the clay layers beneath the interchange. This phase was completed in late 2002 at a cost of $6.8 million. On April 4, 2003 construction began on Phase Two of the bypass which begins south of Spring Creek Road and ends north of Ruppsville Road. The new $46.5 million highway opened on September 27, 2005 and the designation removed from Trexlertown Road. In 2003, the southern terminus was moved from the Delaware state line one-half mile south of Cossart to US 202. The move came at the request of West Chester residents who complained about the amount of traffic going through the borough. On June 16, 2005, PennDOT announced work would begin on a $13.6 million project to install ITS equipment on PA 100 in Chester County. Over the next 15 months, crews installed 33 closed circuit TV cameras, 22 dynamic, and 61 incident detectors along the route as well as US 30 in Chester County and US 202 in Delaware and Chester Counties. They are connected to the Philadelphia Traffic Management Center in King of Prussia. A widening and improvement project began June 1, 2014 on 2.5 miles of Pottstown Pike in Chester County. Aside from expanding the route from two to three lanes in each direction to create a six-lane roadway from US 30 to the Pennsylvania Turnpike, five jug handles will be replaced with turning lanes at certain intersections, installing new traffic signals, replacing the metal median divider with a concrete barrier, modifying the storm water collection system, and adding storm water management facilities. Sound wall, retaining wall, and sidewalk installation will also be part of the project, as well as constructing a truck weigh station on the northbound side at the current Ship Road jug handle. Work is expected to finish in February 2016. |
