Pennsylvania Route 29 (PA 29) is a 118-mile-long (190 km) north–southstate highway that runs through most of easternPennsylvania.

The route currently has a southern and northern segment. The southern segment runs fromU.S. Route 30 (US 30) nearMalvern north toInterstate 78 (I-78)/PA 309 nearAllentown. The northern segment runs fromI-81 inAshley north to theNew York state line near Brookdale, Pennsylvania, where the road becomesNew York State Route 7 (NY 7). The southernmost 5 miles (8.0 km) of PA 29's northern segment is a freeway known as theSouth Cross Valley Expressway. The route was continuous until May 9, 1966, when PA 29 was split into the two segments that exist today.

History

[edit]

Original route

[edit]
PA 29 northbound in Collegeville

PA 29 was created and first signed in 1928. During this time, construction began on the segment betweenTunkhannock north toSpringville. The following year, in 1929, the stretch between Tunkhannock and Lemon, midway Tunkhannock and Springville, opened to traffic. Lemon to Springville opened the following year, in 1930.

In 1934, work started on the section between US 6 in Tunkhannock and Franklin Forks, located midway between Montrose and the state border. The construction was complete by the following year. In 1936, two major sections of the route, stretching between Evans Falls to Rosengrants, near Tunkhannock, and from Franklin Forks to the state line, were paved. A subsequent project united PA 29 into a single route, completing the road fromHazleton to Tunkhannock. PA 29 and PA 113 switched alignments between Phoenixville and Rahns in 1937, with PA 29 now following its present alignment between those two places.[12][13] Two years later, the section from Rosengrants to Tunkhannock was paved. In 1940, the section between Bowmans Creek and Evans Falls was paved.

In 1946, the route underwent its first realignment when PA 29 was routed to its current position between West Nanticoke and Silkworth, shifting the route from Cragle Hill Road and Swamp Road toUS 11 fromShickshinny to West Nanticoke. This routing replacedPennsylvania Route 139. The route was split on May 9, 1966, by eliminating the section between US 309 in Allentown and US 11 in West Nanticoke, removing a number of overlaps that linked the two segments. The former alignment of PA 29 became solely US 309 (now PA 309) between Allentown andSchnecksville, newly-designatedPA 873 between Schnecksville andLehigh Gap, newly-designatedPA 248 between Lehigh Gap andWeissport, solelyUS 209 between Weissport andNesquehoning, an extension ofPA 93 between Nesquehoning andNescopeck, an extension ofPA 239 between Nescopeck and Shickshinny, and solely US 11 between Shickshinny and West Nanticoke.[14][15]

Post-split

[edit]
PA 29 northbound past PA 23 in Phoenixville

In 1969, construction began on the South Cross Valley Expressway betweenSugar Notch and theNanticoke interchange. The expressway was extended to I-81 in 1971 and opened in 1972.

Prior to construction of the US 202 expressway in 1970, PA 29 travelled entirely on Phoenixville Pike between Phoenixville and West Chester. PA 29 entered West Chester on Goshen Road and Marshall Street, ending at PA 100 (High Street) in town. When the US 202 expressway was built, PA 29 was rerouted onto Morehall Road at Devault and ran south to junction US 202 and then end at US 30.[2]

In 1978, PA 29 was re-signed to the northern segment of the route after 12 years of not having a designation. The southern terminus was moved from West Nanticoke to the current end at I-81 exit 164 inAshley. Plans to extend the South Cross Valley Expressway were announced in 2009 but have not yet commenced.

In 1996, plans were made by thePennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PTC) to construct E-ZPass-only slip ramps connecting the Pennsylvania Turnpike to PA 29 near Devault. Construction of the ramps were seen as necessary in order to provide a turnpike connection to the nearby Great Valley Corporate Center, along with traffic relief to the area of suburban Chester County that lies within the 14-mile stretch of the turnpike between the Downingtown and Valley Forge interchanges. The slip ramps initially faced opposition from local residents, as they voiced concern as to the potential implications a turnpike connection would have on traffic in the area.[16] Funding for the PA 29 slip ramp was approved in 2002,[17] but due to environmental concerns, design issues, and continued opposition, construction did not begin until March 2011.[17][18] The interchange officially opened to the public on December 11, 2012.[19] Following the turnpike's switch totoll-by-plate electronic toll collection in 2020, the interchange is no longer E-ZPass only, and is now open to non-E-ZPass tagholders.

In 2009, a roundabout was constructed at the intersection of PA 29 and PA 73 in Lower Frederick Township, which resulted in a decrease in crashes at the junction following its opening.[20]

In November 2020, a portion of PA 29 in Collegeville was realigned to directly cross East Main Street from 2nd Avenue to 1st Avenue, as the previous alignment had no direct connection between 2nd Avenue and 1st Avenue, forcing PA 29 drivers onto East Main Street for about 200 feet (61 m).[21]
