Pennsylvania Route 823 (formerly designated by the Pennsylvania Department of Highways as SR 0823) was a short-lived state highway in the western Pennsylvania county of McKean. State Route 823 went northward from the community of Big Shanty along Big Shanty Road and Laffayette Avenue for 3.47 miles (5.58 km), terminating at an intersection with U.S. Route 219 in nearby Lewis Run. The route was commissioned by the Department of Highways (now Pennsylvania Department of Transportation) in 1929 and was decommissioned in 1932.

Famous quotes containing the words pennsylvania and/or route:
“The discovery of Pennsylvania’s coal and iron was the deathblow to Allaire. The works were moved to Pennsylvania so hurriedly that for years pianos and the larger pieces of furniture stood in the deserted houses.”
—For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“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)
