U.S. Route 15 (US 15) isUnited States Numbered Highway that runs fromWalterboro, South Carolina, north toPainted Post, New York. InPennsylvania, the highway runs for 194.89 miles (313.65 km), from theMaryland state line just south ofGettysburg, north to theNew York state line nearLawrenceville.

Route description

[edit]
US 11/US 15 northbound inWormleysburg

US 15 enters Pennsylvania south ofGettysburg,Adams County, fromFrederick County,Maryland, on afreeway alignment. The route heads to the north and bypasses Gettysburg, where the route has an interchange withUS 30. The freeway alignment ends atYork Springs, carrying US 15 on a four-laneexpressway, then becoming a four-lanearterial road inDillsburg, until the route upgrades to a freeway again. The route continues north towardHarrisburg, where the freeway terminates again as US 15 joins withUS 11. The two routes begin to follow the west shore of theSusquehanna River with limited-access sections until they split across the river fromSunbury. US 15 continues north intoWilliamsport, joiningInterstate 180 (I-180) andUS 220. At I-180's western terminus, US 220, signed south, heads due west towardJersey Shore andLock Haven, while US 15 turns due north throughMansfield and crosses intoNew York nearLawrenceville,Tioga County.

US 15 northbound pastPA 642 inWhite Deer Township,Union County

The majority of US 15 is four lanes, alternating between limited and unlimited access. There are two segments where the road is two lanes. One is fromEast Pennsboro Township, Cumberland County, just north of theI-81 interchange, to just south ofDuncannon. The other is betweenWhite Deer andSouth Williamsport. The segment between Williamsport and the New York state line will eventually be designatedI-99.

History

LocationShamokin DamWilliamsport
Existed1928–1941

With the adoption of the U.S. Numbered Highway System, US 15 originally terminated at Harrisburg, whileUS 111 serviced the modern route north of that point. In 1937, US 15 was extended north to the New York state line, effectively replacing US 111 north of Harrisburg. However, instead of replacing US 111's old routing directly, US 15 ran along the east bank of the Susquehanna River between Harrisburg and Williamsport. Meanwhile, the road on the western bank of the river wasPennsylvania Route 14 (PA 14) between Lemoyne and Duncannon, US 11 between Duncannon and Shamokin Dam, and PA 404 between Shamokin Dam and Williamsport.[2] In 1941, US 15 was rerouted to follow the western bank of the river between Harrisburg and Williamsport, replacing PA 14 between Lemoyne and Duncannon, running concurrent with US 11 between Lemoyne and Shamokin Dam, and replacing the entire length of PA 404. The former alignment of US 15 on the east side of the river became PA 14.[3][4]

Future

[edit]

The section of US 15 north of Williamsport will gain the additional designation ofI-99 when the connection fromI-76 toI-86 is completed. No additional work is needed to upgrade this stretch, as it is already up toInterstate standards.[5]

As part of the construction of theCentral Susquehanna Valley Thruway, US 15 is planned to be rerouted to the new freeway betweenSelinsgrove andUnion Township, bypassingShamokin Dam. The former alignment of US 15 through Shamokin Dam will be designated asUS 15 Business, partly running concurrent with US 11.[6]
