PA 290

West End: Erie
East End: Harbor Green Township

PA 290 was first signed in the Spring of 2006.  It is the first newly signed route since PA 424 in 2000.  PA 290's tenure as the state's newest signed state route will not last long; however, PA TPK 576 is scheduled to make its debut in October 2006.

The Western Terminus of PA 290 is at Interstate 79 in Erie.  PA 290 is multiplexed with PA 5 through Erie after leaving the Bayfront Connector.   The 'END' sign is located at the intersection of Lincoln Ave. and W. 12th St. (PA 5).

The first East PA 290 shield is pared with an East PA 5 shield just after W. 12th Street crosses over Interstate 79.  The first mention of PA 290 from PA 5 East is the Junction PA 290 trailblazer that is located a few hundred feet before the signs above.

As you can see, PA 290 will appear straight ahead.  Interstate 79 runs below PA 5.

The Eastern Terminus of PA 290 is just beyond Interstate 90 in Harbor Green Township.  Like its western end, PA 290 is multiplexed - this time with PA 430 - at its east end.  The 'END' PA 290 and East PA 430 signs are located just east of the I-90 interchange with PA 430.

The first West PA 290 shield is paired with a West PA 430 shield.  The interchange with I-90 is in the immediate background.
