Pennsylvania Route 172

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

The former Pennsylvania Route 2 was the designation for the Lackawanna Trail and was formed in 1924,U.S. 22 - The William Penn Highway
/ref> running south to north from Philadelphia to the New York state line for a distance of .Pennsylvania Highways - Pennsylvania Route 2
/ref> 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

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 4

The former Pennsylvania Route 4 was formed in 1924, and ran south to north from the Maryland state line near Shrewsbury to the New York state line near Lawrenceville for a distance of .Pennsylvania Highways - Pennsylvania Route 4
/ref> 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)

Pennsylvania Route 12 is the former designation for the Baltimore Pike from Nottingham to Philadelphia. In 1926, US 1 was overlaid on PA 12.

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 43 (1950s)

Pennsylvania Route 43 was reactivated in 1952 and reassigned along the Schuylkill Expressway (which was already designated as then-I-80S, thus forming a concurrency) from King Of Prussia (at the Pennsylvania Turnpike) to the PA/NJ state line midway across the Walt Whitman Bridge.

PA 458

Pennsylvania Route 458 in Mercer County started at the intersection of PA 322 and PA 58's then-western terminus in Jamestown (near the Mercer/Crawford County line) and ran for three miles westbound to the Ohio/Pennsylvania state line in Greene Township.

PA 651

Pennsylvania Route 651 in Beaver County started at the OH/PA state line in Darlington Township and ran eastbound through Darlington Borough, back into the township of the same name, Big Beaver and to its eastern terminus at PA 18 in Homewood.

In 1936, PA 168 was extended northbound from its previous terminus in Beaver. As a result, 1.2 miles of its new designation ran concurrently with PA 651 from Market Street in Darlington Borough to Ashwood Road in Big Beaver.

The original PA 780 was commissioned in 1930; it was located in Clinton County and ran from a segment of U.S. 220 that was later "swapped" with parallel PA 64 in Lamar to PA 880 in Loganton. Six years later, PA 780's second (and currently active) designation was assigned in Westmoreland County. After the original PA 780 was decommissioned in 1967, the segment from the eastern terminus at North Mill Road to Narrows Road was renumbered as a realignment of PA 880.

In 1961, with the opening of a new interchange to the Penn Lincoln Parkway in Green Tree, the former PA 802 segment from the intersection of Greentree and Cochran Roads to the intersection of Greentree Road and Mansfield Avenue was reassigned as a part of the new PA 121, having been decommissioned from its original route in 1950.

PA 805

PA 856

Pennsylvania Route 856 (PA 856) was a state route that ran from PA 65 in Freedom in Beaver County southeast to another intersection with PA 65 in Emsworth in Allegheny County. PA 856 headed east from PA 65 in Freedom and had an intersection with PA 989 before it left Beaver County for Allegheny County. At this point, the route curved southeast and then south before it passed through Franklin Park. PA 856 continued south to its end at PA 65 in Emsworth.

The route was designated in 1928 to run from PA 857 (now PA 65) in Freedom east to Knob along an unpaved road. PA 856 was paved by 1930. In the 1930s, the route was extended from Knob southeast to PA 88 (now PA 65) in Emsworth, with a portion of road north of Emsworth replacing PA 989. PA 856 was decommissioned in 1976 due to the completion of the parallel I-79 in the area. The state continued to maintain the former alignment of PA 856. Two years after the route was decommissioned, local residents complained about lack of snow removal and felt that PennDOT had abandoned the road when they removed the PA 856 designation. However, the state reminded the residents that they still maintain the road and that snow removal along the former route was secondary to more important routes, in addition to suggesting local municipalities can take over snow removal.

PA 905

Pennsylvania Route 905 (PA 905), situated in the southernmost area of Allegheny County, ran from a former alignment of PA 31 (now PA 136) in Forward Township to PA 51 in Elizabeth. PA 905 was first designated in 1928 as a short unpaved spur off PA 31 to the east of Monongahela. In 1930, the route was constructed as a concrete road serving as a shortcut between Monongahela and Elizabeth. The road connected farmland in Forward Township with Elizabeth and PA 31 and formed part of an outer beltline of Allegheny County. The PA 905 designation was removed in 1946.

PA 908

Pennsylvania Route 908 (PA 894) in Allegheny County ran from Harmar to the northeastern corner of the county in Natrona Heights, beginning and ending at different points of a former (pre-Allegheny Valley Expressway) alignment of PA 28 (Freeport Road).

PA 909

Pennsylvania Route 909 (PA 909) was a 6-mile state road that ran across and parallel to the Allegheny River through Oakmont, Plum, New Kensington and Lower Burrell, northeast of Pittsburgh. From its southern terminus at the Freeport Road (Old PA 28) end of the Hulton Bridge in Harmar/Allegheny County, PA 909 ran across the bridge along Hulton Road, Coxcomb Hill Road and Logan's Ferry Road and into Westmoreland County where the northern terminus at PA 366 straddles between New Kensington and Lower Burrell. Although officially decommissioned in 1946, a signpost at the intersection of Logan's Ferry and Coxcomb Hill Roads shows the latter road as ROUTE 909.

Two of the Allegheny County's Belt System routes run concurrently with this former route:
