Pennsylvania Roads - PA 56
PA 56

US 119 SB/PA 56 EB south of Indiana. All of the shields are wacky on the 119 freeway.

Old PA 56 in Homer City, WB at Wiley St. where it turns right and these signs are straight ahead.

Two old bridges PA 56 crosses, WB.

Skipping the historically important PA 403 concurrency (see big link at bottom), westbound in the part of Johnstown not affected by the flood. Used to be both lanes could go straight, though they would have had to immediately merge again. I didn't notice a problem with traffic queuing in just one lane.

Button copy on the freeway WB heading down into downtown Johnstown.

EB joining and leaving the former US 220 alignment, all three photos shared with Business US 220 (which comes off the freeway at the PA 56 exit). The new signs are at once hideous and curious - who would think to put directions inside the detour circles? - so the old sign had better remain.

PA 56 soon comes to an end, but has time to squeeze out a few photos. Just beyond the Turnpike overpass, US 30 is the end of the line.
