US 206

There is not much to say about this highway, since it is only in the Commonwealth for a mere half mile.  The only change to the route took place in 1946 when the western terminus was moved from US 6 in Milford via a multiplex with US 209 to its current location.  Construction began on the Milford-Montague Toll Bridge in the early 1950s, and opened on December 30, 1953.  It is 1,150-feet-long and is the northern-most bridge under the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission jurisdiction.

Trivia:  US 206 is the only US highway in Pennsylvania that is maintained solely by an entity other than PennDOT.  Since it is located within the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, the National Park Service has jurisdiction over the route.
