PA 309 was once US 309 and also once ran to the New York State Line with US 220.  Times have changed and since 1967 the highway has been known as PA 309.

The Northern Terminus of PA 309 is at PA 29 in Bowman Creek.  Right below the antiques sign is the bridge that carries PA 29 over Bowmans Creek.

This view is from PA 29 South.  If you look closely enough, you can see the backs of the North PA 29/ END PA 309 sign combination.
Business PA 309:

The Northern Terminus of Business PA 309 is at PA 309 in Wilkes-Barre.  Business 309 was created when PA 309 was moved onto I-81 and then onto the completed Crossvalley Expressway.


(Denis Malvern)

The Southern Terminus of Business 309 is where PA 309 returns from I-81 near Ashley.

(Marc Axler)
The Southern Terminus of PA 309 is at PA 611 on the Philadelphia City/County Line.  This is one of the rare cases, PA TPK 66 being the other, that an advanced warning is given to an end.


(Denis Malvern)

There is an 'End' sign posted near the terminus.


(Marc Axler)

Signs for PA 611 on Old York Road (1).  PA 309 had ended where Ogontz Ave. intersected Broad St.  Today, the terminus is at the intersection of Cheltenham Ave. and Broad.
