Where does I-95 go in Philadelphia?

3.  The free highway in question wasn't originally an Interstate (ex. I-376 was originally part of PA 60).

This particular example doesn't fit, since the intersecting highway is a turnpike toll road as well.  Though there is also local access to PA-351.  This does mean that I-76 to WB (heading NB) I-376 has to contend with a stop sign and a left turn.

Fair enough.  A better example would probably be the Valley Forge interchange.  The original route number for the Schuylkill Expressway was PA 43 before it became an Interstate (first I-80S then the current I-76).

For the record, the ones that actually whined & pressed then-Gov. Rendell shortly after taking office in 2003 to downsize the 202 Bypass Extension to the current Parkway were not the ones that resided near the corridor but actually those that lived north of the older 70s-era bypass... Buckingham Township in particular.  Their *Ahem* concern was that the southern extension would've motivated pressure to construct a northern extension.

As a former PennDOT District 6-0 employee (in which district the US 202 project resides), I can vouch for the truth of this.

Interesting, the old PA 43 is associated with I-76, the new one is associated with the PA Turnpike.

According to Steve Anderson's page (scroll down), the Schuylkill Expressway had the PA 43 designation until 1958 when it became an Interstate.

You're right it is interesting (if not coincidental) that the current PA 43 is associated w/the PA Turnpike.
