Interstate 69 Fan

Quote from: boilerup25 on December 17, 2024, 11:59:10 AMPennDOT sent an application to AASHTO to get US 15 from I-180 to the NY state line designated as I-99. https://grmservices.grmims.com/vsearch/portal/public/na4/aashto/default (look up Interstate 99 and the 2024 document).
It already has been approved as I-99, back in November. The application you are posting about was filed back in 2021.
Apparently I’m a fan of I-69.  Who knew.

Are they thinking about decommissioning US-15 north of Williamsport in concert with I-99 being approved?

The Ghostbuster

Given the truncation and decommissioning of other State and US Highways parallel to Interstate corridors, I would consider the truncation of US 15 to Williamsport to be highly likely. After all, US 15 was truncated from Rochester to Painted Post due to the construction of Interstate 390.

I remember that NYSDOT originally removed all US 15 signage before later restoring it after designating I-99 north of the PA/NY border, so that would seem to hint at eventual truncation to Williamsport as well. The current interchange of US 15/Market St at I-180/US 220 coming off the bridge over the West Branch Susquehanna River does make for a natural termination point in the future.
