Tracing the Past....
Pennsylvania's Decommissioned State Routes
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has had a vast history of roads, freeways, and toll roads.  Whether it is The Logic Behind the Numbering System, or potholes, down every road in Pennsylvania there is a history.  Some of these roads were at one time a state primary route.  The links from this page will lead you to a photographic history of some of these routes; from past and present.  I hope you enjoy!

This history project can't be done without your help.  So if you can locate old photos, or current day photos of remnants of days gone past (i.e. a local street sign still referring it to Route X), please feel free to e-mail me.

Update:  November 24, 2005, A new page covering the decommissioned sections of PA 970.
