| History:
|
Signed in
1946, this auxiliary
route has perhaps the most intriguing history of any within the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The first change in the designation
took place in 1953 in Norristown, when eastbound traffic was shifted to Markley
Street, Lafayette Street, and Ford Street. In 1954, the eastern
terminus was moved from Lincoln Drive along Ridge Avenue and West
Allegheny Avenue to end at Hunting Park Drive. Eastbound traffic
returned to Main Street between Markley Street and Ford Street.
In 1959, the designation flipped
alignments with its parent route between Barren Hill and Hunting Park
Drive. The route turned at Church Road, forming a multiplex with US
422, then onto Germantown Pike, Germantown Avenue, Washington Lane, Wayne
Avenue, and Clarrisa Avenue.
