BicyclePA Route S BicyclePA Route: Monongahela to West Newton History: Originally signed on Saint Augustine Road and Fiske Road between PA 36 and PA 53 in Cambria County from 1928 to 1946.  The route was completely paved in 1932.

Signed on its current alignment in 1964.

Deterioration reared its ugly head on the West Newton Bridge, which spans the Youghiogheny River in the borough, during a $1.2 million renovation project.  On June 22, 2010, as crews were working on the span, pieces began falling and so PennDOT immediately shut down the span and held an emergency meeting the following day on further action to take.  "What they'll do now is they'll do a full inspection of the bridge.  We'll get our engineers down there and find out exactly to what extent this deterioration is, how we can repair it.  Try to make the repairs and get the bridge open," said Jay Ofsanik of PennDOT.  The original rehabilitation project was to end in September 2010.  The span reopened to traffic on July 15 after the emergency repairs were completed.

Widening and median installation work began on the section from US 22 to Laurys Station in 1970 which was completed two years later.

In 1987, the southern terminus was moved from US 22 in Allentown to its current location.

Improvements to the US 22 interchange in Lehigh County began in May 2012.  The cloverleaf interchange was reconfigured into a diamond to better facilitate merging onto the expressway, traffic signals would be installed at the ramps, and a wider and taller bridge for PA 145 would be built.  The $13.8 million project was completed in 2014.

BicyclePA Route J BicyclePA Route: Herndon Bypass Road to South 2nd Street in Sunbury History: Originally signed on the current PA 247 alignment from Montdale to Dundaff from 1928 until 1946 in Lackawanna County.  In 1929, the section from Mondale to the Susquehanna County line was paved.  In 1935, the section from the Lackawanna County line to Dundaff was paved.

Signed in its current location in 1963.

Construction began on the expressway in 1969, from PA 642 to south of Muncy.  In 1970, work extended from Chillisquaque to PA 642.  In 1971, the sections from PA 642 to the McEwensville interchange and from PA 54 to the Main Street interchange opened to traffic. Only the latter section received the 147 designation.  Also in 1971, construction began on the section from the Main Street interchange to US 220.  In 1972, the sections from Chillisquaque to PA 642 and from the McEwensville interchange to PA 54 opened, and with that, the designation moved onto the expressway.  In 1974, the rest of the expressway opened to US 220 and the new northern terminus became the interchange at US 220. 

In 1984, the northern terminus was moved to its current location.  In 2002, work to build the northbound lanes between Chillisquaque and PA 642 began in early 2004 and concluded in fall of that year.

In October 2003, the alignment of the Central Susquehanna Valley Thruway project was approved.  Nothing happened in seven years until December 2, 2010 when the Appalachian Regional Commission approved a new Appalachian Development Highway System corridor designated as Corridor P-1.  The new corridor covers the portion of US 15 between the US 22/US 322 interchange near Harrisburg and Interstate 80/Interstate 180 interchange near Milton.  This new corridor was formed by transferring 12.5 miles of the cancelled Corridor O-1 along US 322 between Interstate 80 and Phillipsburg, and with this, money allocated for the ADHS can be used.  However, the $604 million needed to complete the CSVT is more than the amount of funding provided to complete the entire Appalachian Development Highway System within Pennsylvania.  US Representative Bill Shuster introduced a bill in the House of Representatives to allow the use of toll credits to match federal money for transportation projects in March 2011, which would allow completion of this expressway.  Another bill was introduced by US Senator Ben Cardin of Maryland and co-sponsored by Senators Bob Casey and Pat Toomey in August 2011 in the Senate.  On November 26, 2013, State Transportation Secretary Barry Schoch announced that the state would allocate $558 million, of a revised estimate of $615 million total, towards completion of the CSVT.  Construction on the first segment of the 12.4-mile-long project, encompassing the Susquehanna River bridge, began in November 2015.  The work began quickly so that trees at the work site could be removed by April 1 to avoid conflict with the endangered northern long-eared bat that roost in the trees during warmer weather.

The first segment of the Central Susquehanna Valley Thruway project, the northern section, opened to traffic on July 8, 2022.  A combined ribbon-cutting event for this section and a groundbreaking ceremony for the southern section took place on June 29 and were attended by PennDOT officials, US Senator Bob Casey, federal, state, and local leaders.  "For more than a decade, I have advocated for this crucial investment in Central Pennsylvania infrastructure," said Senator Casey.  "As we celebrate completion of the Northern Section of the Central Susquehanna Valley Thruway and break ground on the Southern Section, I look forward to the economic growth and transportation access this connector will provide.  Thanks to the infrastructure law, we are making real progress to rebuild roads and bridges throughout the Commonwealth."  Construction on the $306 million section was made possible by passage of Act 89 in 2013, and $6 million from the new federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) is supporting the first contract of the southern section.

The southern section will consist of roughly six miles of new four-lane, limited-access roadway between the current US 11/US15 interchange in Shamokin Dam just north of Selinsgrove in Snyder County and the temporary end of the CSVT just north on US 15.  The southern section will also include an interchange/connector to PA 61/Veterans Memorial Bridge, and is projected to cost $360 million.  Work officially started in May 2022 with completion projected sometime in 2025.  Project website:  http://www.csvt.com.

Four days before the ribbon-cutting ceremony, PennDOT opened the road to the public to walk or bike the new expressway on June 25.  Approximately 6,000 people attended the event which was held from 10 AM to 3 PM.

Former LR Designation: 392 Yellow Belt Belt System: Truck PA 148 to Fifth Avenue Washington's Trail Washington's Trail: Entire length History: Signed in 1928.  Until 1946, the designation was marked on the current PA 48 alignment between Lincoln Way and US 30.  In 1930, the route was paved from Lincoln Way to US 30.

Signed in the current location in 1950.  In 1955, the northbound traffic was moved to Ninth Avenue and Market Street, while southbound traffic used Walnut Street.

In 1976, the route was changed to its present direction in McKeesport.  Prior to that, the route was split with splitting at Ninth Avenue, and continuing north on Market Street and turning onto Lysle Boulevard.  Southbound used the current route on Walnut Street.

Rehabilitation project began on Lysle Boulevard in McKeesport from the McKeesport-Duquesne Bridge to the Fifth Avenue Bridge in 1988.  The work comprised of rebuilding the roadway and sidewalks, and replacing the traffic signals and street lights which was completed in late 1988.

The original southern terminus was PA 148 at the 15th Street Bridge, but in the late 1980s when the bridge was rehabilitated, the ramp that carried Truck PA 148 to that intersection was demolished.

A median was installed in 1969 from Alternate US 220 to Milesburg.

The designation was extended northward in 1978 to replace US 220 after its new expressway alignment opened.  In 1979, the southern terminus was moved to its current location from Hublersburg.

On November 12, 2022, a retaining wall holding South Water Street in Bellefonte between Mill and West High streets collapsed into Spring Creek due to erosion below and behind the wall from high water and general deterioration.  Southbound traffic was moved to the northbound lane, while northbound traffic was detoured along Stoney Batter Road, South Spring Street, West Bishop Street, North Allegheny Street, and West Linn Street.  PennDOT Centre County Maintenance began placing temporary shoring and installing a rock buttress to stabilize the slope on November 28 with the work completed on December 1.  This temporary fix allowed the street to reopen to both directions of travel.  Work on a permanent fix will begin on April 10, 2023 and include removal of the temporary wall, construction of a new retaining wall, resurfacing, new pipes and inlets, concrete curb and sidewalk, pavement markings, and miscellaneous items.  The $393,000 emergency project was completed August 2, 2023.
