Route description

PA 199 goes by 3 names along its route. The name along the route are Keystone Avenue, Mohawk Street, and Spring Street.

The route starts in Athens Township., outside the town of Athens, at an intersection with US 220. The route parallels the Susquehanna River for a short distance in Athens before the route enters the town of Sayre, Pennsylvania. Before entering the state of New York, the eastbound entrance/exit ramp for NY 17 intersects at the route. The route then meets NY 34 at the New York state line.

History

PA 199 was once signed elsewhere, in Erie County between PA 5 and US 20 from 1928, until the mid-1960s, when it was decommissioned.^[2][3] In 1974, the route number was used again, mostly on the old alignment of US 220 through the 3 towns that it went through once the US 220 bypass was complete. ^[4][5]
