Pennsylvania Route 669 (designated by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation as SR 669) is a 5.80-mile (9.33 km) long state highway located in Somerset county in Pennsylvania. The southern terminus is at the Maryland state line in Elk Lick Township, where Maryland Route 669 and Springs Road cross the state line from U.S. Route 40 Alternate. The route heads along Springs Road and Ord Street through its rural and residential alignment. The northern terminus is at the intersection with U.S. Route 219 (Grant Street) in the borough of Salisbury. The route was designated in 1963, and a renumbered Route 417 was soon matched up over the state line in Maryland.

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)
“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
