Pennsylvania Route 43 was a route that ran from U.S. Route 22, U.S. Route 11, and Pennsylvania Route 5 in Harrisburg to Pennsylvania Route 12 in Bethlehem. When the highway was truncated in 1932 along Susquehanna Street from Allentown to Bethlehem, its previous alignment was designated as U.S. Route 22.
