Interstate 99 north of Williamsport

[webny99]

I drove by the 220 north interchange today. I noticed they put up new signage on I-80 east (still wrapped) behind the current US 220 exit signage. "To I-99 North" perhaps?

Yeah, it will be interesting to see if the I-80 overlap gets dual-signed as I-99 as part of this project. I'm repeating myself here, but I'd like to see that short section of US 220 twinned so that I-99 could just be signed on up to Jersey Shore.

Other than Exit 178 itself, it would be a relatively inexpensive project, and it would easily work to just twin the last few miles and sign it as I-99 while leaving Exit 178 as-is until funding permits a full Exit 161-style reconstruction. After all, PA isn't exactly foreign to substandard interstate junctions, including Exit 161 itself for the last several decades. Another decade of a similar situation at Exit 178 would be better than a large gap in I-99, IMO - and it would force Exit 178 and the remaining gap between Jersey Shore and Williamsport to become a priority.

Yeah, about half of the signs are up (they are storing them at the stub end near the Salona exit of US-220 - which I drive past frequently).  They all have tarps draped over them, so I can't see exactly how they have these signed.  When I can see something, I'll update you all.
