The path of the Lincoln Highway was first laid out in September 1913; it was defined to run through Canton, Ohio; Beaver; Pittsburgh; Greensburg; Ligonier; Bedford; Chambersburg; Gettysburg; York; Lancaster; and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and Camden, New Jersey.[8] This bypassed Harrisburg to the south, and thus did not use the older main route across the state between Chambersburg and Lancaster. From Pittsburgh to Philadelphia, this incorporated a number of old turnpikes, some of which still collected tolls:[9]

US 30 westbound in Wynnewood
  • Part of the Harrisburg and Pittsburgh Turnpike, chartered in 1806, broken up in 1814 into separate turnpike companies,[10] of which the following were included:
    • Greensburg and Pittsburgh Turnpike, Pittsburgh to Greensburg
    • Somerset and Greensburg Turnpike (renamed the Stoystown and Greensburg Turnpike 1815), Greensburg to Stoystown
    • Bedford and Somerset Turnpike (renamed the Bedford and Stoystown Turnpike 1815), Stoystown to Bedford
    • Chambersburg and Bedford Turnpike, Bedford to Chambersburg
  • Chambersburg Turnpike, Chambersburg to Cashtown
  • Part of the Gettysburg and Petersburg Turnpike, from Cashtown to Gettysburg
  • York and Gettysburg Turnpike, Gettysburg to York
  • Wrightsville Turnpike, York to Wrightsville
  • Columbia-Wrightsville Bridge, Wrightsville to Columbia
  • Lancaster and Susquehanna Turnpike, Columbia to Lancaster
  • Philadelphia and Lancaster Turnpike, Lancaster to Philadelphia

This original 1913 path of the Lincoln Highway continued east from Philadelphia, crossing the

Bridge Street Bridge).[citation needed

In 1924, the entire Lincoln Highway in Pennsylvania was designated Pennsylvania Route 1 (PA 1).

PA 201, PA 301, PA 401, PA 501 and PA 601 – had been assigned by then. (PA 701 was assigned later as a branch of PA 101.)[citation needed

As defined in 1913, the Lincoln Highway ran east-northeast from

By 1915, the highway had been realigned to the route it would follow until the end of 1927. It ran east from

Beaver, where it rejoined the Ohio River. It crossed the Beaver River into Rochester, joining the 1913 alignment, and turned south with the Ohio to Pittsburgh.[9]

1915 route

This route entered Pennsylvania along

PA Route 68. After crossing Little Beaver Creek, it turned south on Main Street, passing under the Cleveland and Pittsburgh Railroad (PRR) into Glasgow. After passing through Glagow on Liberty Street, the highway turned north and passed under the railroad again at Smiths Ferry, merging with Smiths Ferry Road.[9] This alignment through Glasgow carried the Lincoln Highway until ca. 1926, when the present PA 68 was built on the north side of the railroad.[14]

The Lincoln Highway left the banks of the Ohio River on Smiths Ferry Road, which includes an old stone bridge over Upper Dry Run. It turned east on Tuscarawas Road through

PA Route 168, while the route along the river, never followed by the Lincoln Highway, was PA 68.[13]

Where PA 68 crosses the

Bridgewater along Third Street and then the Beaver River on the ca. 1963[14] Rochester-Bridgewater Bridge, the Lincoln Highway instead ran along Bridge Street, just to the north, and crossed the Old Rochester-Bridgewater Bridge into Rochester.[9]

Continuing through Rochester to Pittsburgh, the Lincoln Highway left the Old Rochester-Bridgewater Bridge on Madison Street, turning onto Brighton Avenue, and then crossing the

Freedom (about a block north of Third Street[15]), running through Freedom on Third Avenue.[9]

South of downtown Freedom, Third Avenue merges into the Ohio River Boulevard, also known as

PA Route 989, but the old highway turned west at 14th Street and then south on Merchant Street.[9]

Crossing Big Sewickley Creek from Ambridge,

Haysville. Sewickley officially changed the name of its piece to Lincoln Highway by an ordinance in January 1916, and Osborne, Edgeworth and Leetsdale soon followed suit, but that name is no longer used.[9]

In

Glenfield, the highway crossed the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railway twice, once near the present overpass and again west of Toms Run Road.[16] The old road next to the Ohio River, Beaver Street, is still a yellow brick road but now used only by local traffic.[9]

The old road left PA 65 again in

]

The highway crosses into Pittsburgh on a high concrete

During the time that the Lincoln Highway ran through Rochester, the Rochester-Pittsburgh segment was locally maintained. It was often

state highway.[17] By 1922 an official detour was recommended via East Palestine, Ohio and Beaver, largely identical to the initial 1913 plan.[citation needed
]

1927 route

Work began in the mid-1920s on a new route to the south of the existing route, passing through West Virginia and bypassing the problematic sections on both sides of Rochester; the Lincoln Highway was moved to it December 2, 1927.[9] This new route had already been numbered U.S. 30 in late 1926.[18]

The new Lincoln Highway bypassed

I-376 interchange. From the late 1940s to 1982, the appropriately-named Penn-Lincoln Drive-In Theater operated on a stretch of the original Lincoln Highway in North Fayette, just east of Imperial. It reopened for one season in 1985 as the Super 30 West Drive-In. The site is now occupied by Penn-Lincoln Shopping Center.[citation needed
]

US 22 and US 30 now join I-376 and turn southeast, but the Lincoln Highway (and US 22/30 before the nearby part of what is now I-376 opened in 1953) continued east with

PA Route 837) at the West End Circle, crossing the 1927 Point Bridge into the Point.[9]

Downtown Pittsburgh to North Huntingdon

Licking Creek Township

From 1915 to late 1927, the Lincoln Highway crossed the

PA Route 8. (PA 380 however bypasses the center of East Liberty.)[9]

The

Leaving the Pittsburgh area, the Lincoln Highway turned onto Ardmore Boulevard (now signed as PA 8 north of I-376, and U.S. 30 south of I-376). It then branched away from Ardmore Boulevard along Electric Avenue, turned northeast on Braddock Avenue, then east on Penn Avenue. The Lincoln Highway originally continued onto Airbrake Avenue and then turned south at 11th Street to cross

Turtle Creek and the Pennsylvania Railroad main line over a bridge; a 1925 replacement bridge starts at the intersection of Airbrake Avenue, Penn Avenue, Monroeville Avenue, and Greensburg Pike.[citation needed] The Lincoln Highway then followed Greensburg Pike up to current U.S. 30.[citation needed
]

In 1932, a bypass of the grades into and out of Turtle Creek, including the

]

White Oak named their main street Lincoln Way in an attempt to convince the Lincoln Highway Association to use it, but instead the highway continued along Greensburg Pike through North Versailles.[citation needed

Later history

US 30 westbound passing through the Villanova University campus in Villanova

The Penn-Lincoln Parkway was built from 1953 to 1962 as a freeway bypass across the Pittsburgh area for both the Lincoln Highway (US 30) and the William Penn Highway (US 22).[citation needed]

In 1953, the portion of present-day US 30 between PA 283 in Lancaster and PA 462 east of Lancaster was built as a freeway alignment of

US 230.[23][24][25] In 1967, US 30 was shifted to a freeway bypass between Prospect Road east of Columbia and east of Lancaster; the route replaced the US 230 designation between the present-day PA 283 and PA 462 interchanges. PA 462 was designated onto the former alignment of US 30 between those two points.[26] In 1972, US 30 was shifted to a bypass between west of York and Columbia, with PA 462 extended west along the former alignment of US 30.[27][28]

In 1963, the Coatesville Downingtown Bypass, a freeway bypass route of US 30, was completed. The bypass begins east of the intersection with PA 10, and terminates east of Downingtown in East Caln Township. Upon completion of the bypass, US 30 Bus. was designated onto the former alignment of US 30.[29][26] Shortly after the completion of the bypass, plans were made to extend the new bypass further east to the US 202 interchange with US 30. However, due to significant delays caused by environmental concerns and funding issues, construction did not begin until 1993. The Exton Bypass was completed in December 1995, and was connected to the existing Coatesville Downingtown Bypass, allowing for a continuous freeway alignment of US 30 from PA 10 to US 202. US 30 Bus. was also extended east through Exton along the former alignment of US 30 to its current eastern terminus following the completion of the bypass. The Exton Bypass also provided significant relief to the Exton area, as the intersection of the former US 30 alignment (now US 30 Bus.) and PA 100 was the source of major congestion throughout the area.[30][31][32][33]

From 1997 to 2004, significant construction was completed to the US 30 bypass around Lancaster.[citation needed]

A bypass of the section of US 30 in Gap, in Lancaster County, was first proposed in February 2012. In 2015, a PennDOT project began to build a bypass to the north of Gap for westbound US 30 between the PA 772 and PA 41 intersections to improve traffic flow and safety at the congested intersection of US 30 and PA 41. The bypass, which cost $10 million, was opened on August 4, 2016.[34]

US 30 eastbound in Paoli

On April 7, 2018, a section of US 30 in East Pittsburgh sank 40 feet (12 m) down a hill after a landslide. One apartment building was destroyed, another threatened and ultimately demolished.[35] The damaged road section reopened in late June 2018.[36]

There are plans for improvements to be made to the US 30 freeway bypassing Coatesville and Downingtown in Chester County. The project is split into a western section between PA 10 near Parkesburg and PA 82 in Coatesville and an eastern section between Reeceville Road near Coatesville and US 30 Bus. east of Downingtown. The western section will remain four lanes wide, with construction planned to begin in 2026. The eastern section is planned to be widened to six lanes, with construction beginning as early as 2028. In addition to improvements made to the freeway, interchanges will also be improved. Construction of the western section is projected to cost $355 million while the eastern section is projected to cost $460 million.[37]
