History

When Pennsylvania first legislated routes in 1911, what is now PA 107 was not given a number.[5] PA 107 was designated in 1928 to run from US 11 in Factoryville east to US 6 (Washington Avenue) in Jermyn along an unpaved road.[6] By 1930, the section of the route between PA 407 in Fleetville and PA 247 (Jordan Hollow Road) was under construction.[7] The entire length of PA 107 was paved in the 1930s.[8] The eastern terminus of the route was cut back to the relocated US 6 at the Scranton-Carbondale Highway (now US 6 Bus.) in the 1940s.[9] PA 107 was extended back east to unnumbered Washington Avenue in Jermyn in the 1970s.[10] In 1995, PA 107 was extended east from Washington Avenue to the newly-constructed US 6 freeway along a new two-lane road.[11][12][13]
