Pennsylvania Route 415

Pennsylvania Route 415 (designated by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation as SR 0415) is a 10.035-mile (16.150 km) long state highway located in Luzerne and Wyoming counties in Pennsylvania. The southern terminus is at Route 309 in Dallas while the northern terminus is at Route 29 near Harveys Lake in the community of Ruggles. A rare feature of this road is that the right-of-way splits in Harveys Lake, where the State Route 0415 alignment heads along the western side of Harveys Lake, while State Route 1415 heads along the eastern side. The two routes merge several miles north.

Originally, Route 415 was designated from Route 92 (now Route 309) in Dallas along its current alignment until the current Route 29 intersection, where it turned southward to an intersection with Route 115 in the community of Kyttles, where the designation terminated. The route around the eastern side of Harveys Lake was designated as Pennsylvania Route 515 in 1928 along with Route 415. In 1946, Route 515 was decommissioned entirely and Route 415 was truncated back to the new Route 29 in Ruggles. At that point, Route 415 was signed in both directions, with the State Route 1415 designation coming along by 1990.

Famous quotes containing the words pennsylvania and/or route:

    The Republican Party does not perceive how many his failure will make to vote more correctly than they would have them. They have counted the votes of Pennsylvania & Co., but they have not correctly counted Captain Brown’s vote. He has taken the wind out of their sails,—the little wind they had,—and they may as well lie to and repair.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    no arranged terror: no forcing of image, plan,
    or thought:
    no propaganda, no humbling of reality to precept:
    terror pervades but is not arranged, all possibilities
    of escape open: no route shut,
    Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
