PA: Another stupid truck route
« on: September 05, 2025, 11:34:28 am »
To be more specific, another stupid alternate business truck route on Business 30 (Downingtown). This is separate from US30BusTrkCoa, because there's another truckphobic bridge a few miles west of the one we knew about. Westbound, this one follows Old Wilmington Rd, PA 340, and PA 10. The last part is an assumption since I did not travel PA 10 from 340 to 30, but it's hard to see a more logical path for it to take.

On PA 10/340 north of the split
On Old Wilmington Rd approaching PA 340
On Old Wilmington Rd approaching Business 30

I knew about that bridge, but was not aware of a truck route for it.  I will probably drive it when I head down to do the North Millsboro Bypass hopefully later this month.

Don't  :pan:  yourself. GMSV from April doesn't show it. It's very new.

Well I caught the Coatesville one in May.....and having now three US 30 BUS ALT Truck Routes is more insane than two.

Yeah the route takes PA 10 south from PA 340 to US 30 and ends there without heading back east to US 30 BUS.

Clinching this route westbound involves two left turns with poor visibility...that was fun....and is probably bad enough that PennDOT probably should have just extended the Coatesville one farther west on US 30.

I expect to add it tomorrow at some point.

Unrelated, but I also saw and END sign for a PA 722 ALT Truck in Lancaster on PA 283 WB, but I did not take time to look into it.  That may be related to Centerville Road, which bans trucks between PA 23 and Harrisburg Pike, and is not part of PA 722.
