Route Description
I-180 begins along the banks of the West Branch Susquehanna River in Williamsport, at an interchange with U.S. Route 15 and U.S. Route 220. The highway begins its signage, concurrent along these routes.
At exit 27A, US 15 leaves the overlap running south across the Carl E. Stotz Memorial Little League Bridge and I-180 continues eastward, still concurrent with US 220 northbound. From there, I-180 runs along the West Branch Susquehanna River until the highway reaches the eastern suburbs of Williamsport, where US 220 leaves the Interstate via exit 15.
From US 220 to the eastern terminus, I-180 is aligned north–south, though the highway is signed east–west. I-180 terminates interchanging Interstate 80 and the freeway continues as Pennsylvania Route 147.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“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)
“I was here first introduced to Joe.... He was a good-looking Indian, twenty-four years old, apparently of unmixed blood, short and stout, with a broad face and reddish complexion, and eyes, methinks, narrower and more turned up at the outer corners than ours, answering to the description of his race. Besides his underclothing, he wore a red flannel shirt, woolen pants, and a black Kossuth hat, the ordinary dress of the lumberman, and, to a considerable extent, of the Penobscot Indian.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
