Former state routes in Pennsylvania

The following is a list of former state routes in Pennsylvania. These roads are now either parts of other routes or no longer carry a traffic route number. This list also includes original routes of numbers that were decommissioned and later reactivated in other locations in which most of these are still active today.

PA 1 (1920s)
Pennsylvania Route 1 was the designation for the Lincoln Highway in Pennsylvania between 1924 and 1928. It is now US 30 west of Philadelphia and US 1 east of Philadelphia. ==PA 2==
PA 2
The former Pennsylvania Route 2 was the designation for the Lackawanna Trail and was formed in 1924, running south to north from Philadelphia to the New York state line for a distance of . The route passed through Philadelphia, Montgomery, Bucks, Northampton, Monroe, Wayne, Lackawanna, Wyoming, and Susquehanna Counties. The origins of the highway lie in 1918, when the Motor Club of Lackawanna County petitioned to have the former road bed of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad from Clark's Summit to Hallstead rebuilt as a highway. Construction of the highway from the New York state line to Scranton in 1919, and by 1920 the Lackawanna Trail was listed on auto trail maps. At the time of construction, the highway in Pennsylvania only extended to Darlington's Bridge, while the Gap Way extended from this point to Philadelphia. Rand McNally lists an extension of the Lackawanna Trail to Hackettstown, New Jersey, where it met the William Penn Highway. In 1924, Pennsylvania incorporated the Gap Way into the Lackawanna Trail, completing the cross-state route. Deleted in 1928, PA 2 followed the former U.S. Route 611 from Philadelphia to Scranton (now Pennsylvania Route 611 between Philadelphia and Tobyhanna and Pennsylvania Route 435 between Gouldsboro and Dunmore), and the current U.S. Route 11 from there to the New York state line near Great Bend. The route originally continued as New York State Route 2 (now US 11). ==PA 3==
PA 3
The original Pennsylvania Route 3 was the designation for the William Penn Highway running from Hanover Township to Easton. After its decommissioning in 1930, PA 3 was renumbered in several areas to extend active routes, including US 22 from the WV/PA state line to Harrisburg, PA 60 from Robinson Township to Pittsburgh, US 322 from Harrisburg to Hershey, US 422 from Hershey to Wyomissing, US 422 Business from Wyomissing to Reading, US 222 Business from Reading to Laureldale, US 222 from Laureldale to Dorneyville (except the Kutztown and Trexlertown/Wescosville bypasses), and PA 222 from Dorneyville to Allentown. PA 3 was reactivated in 1936 to its current alignment from West Chester to downtown Philadelphia. ==PA 4==
PA 4
The former Pennsylvania Route 4 was formed in 1924, The route passed through York, Cumberland, Dauphin, Perry, Juniata, Snyder, Northumberland, Lycoming, and Tioga Counties.

Pennsylvania Route 11 is the former designation for what is now US 40 in Pennsylvania. ==PA 12 (1920s)==
PA 12 (1920s)
Pennsylvania Route 12 is the former designation for the Baltimore Pike from Nottingham to Philadelphia. In 1926, US 1 was overlaid on PA 12. In 1927, PA 12 extended north concurrent with US 309 (now PA 309) to Center Valley, and further north on what became PA 378 to Bethlehem. By 1928, PA 12 extended further north on what became PA 191 between Center Valley and Stockertown and a now-unnumbered road between Stockertown and Bartonsville that parallels the PA 33 freeway. In 1930, the sections that overlapped US 1 and US 309 were decommissioned, truncating the south end to Center Valley. ==PA 13==

Part of the road was renumbered as PA 39; PA 139, PA 239, PA 339, PA 439, PA 539, and PA 639 are spurs of PA 39; several three-digit numbers ending in 19 were already used by U.S. Routes (US 119 and US 219). ==PA 22==

In 1964, both designations were dropped and the expressway was renumbered as an extension of I-76. PA 43's third and current activation came in the 1980s as construction of the Mon-Fayette Expressway began. ==PA 47 (west)==
