History
When Pennsylvania first legislated routes in 1911, what is now PA 832 was not given a number.[4] PA 832 was formed in 1928, stretching from PA 99 (now PA 5 Alt.) to Presque Isle.[5][6] By 1940, the southern terminus of the route was at US 20 west of Erie.[7][8] In 1959, PA 832 was extended from US 20 to the new I-90 (the Erie Throughway) in order to provide access to Erie and Presque Isle for motorists coming from the west and also to serve the western suburbs of Erie.[9][10] By 1970, the southern terminus was moved to its current location at PA 98.[11]
Major intersections
The entire route is in Erie County.
