Pennsylvania Route 997 is a 49-mile (79 km) route in Franklin and Cumberland Counties. The route begins at the Maryland state line south of Waynesboro and ends at Pennsylvania Route 233 in McCrea. The route was originally signed in 1928 from Waynesboro to Pennsylvania Route 433. Both termini, however, have been adjusted northward and southward. The route is concurrent with two state routes, 16 and 641, and one U.S. Route, Route 30. The route was assigned in 1928 up to U.S. Route 30 in Greenwood. The route was extended several times and has been on its current alignment since 1977.
