Northbound on Business US 220 as it meets PA 56.

A right turn begins the duplex. PA 56 is the mainline at this split. To the left, PA 56 east runs only a few miles to the southsouthwest before ending at US 30.
Timothy Reichard 12/22/02
The duplex is not very long. Soon an END sign for Business US 220 appears. PA 56 makes a turn to the left to meet I-99/US 220. Technically, Business US 220 should follow PA 56 to meet US 220.
Timothy Reichard 12/22/02
The north end of Bedford's Business US 220. Some 30 miles to the north, Altoona and Tyrone have another Business US 220, which has three duplexes: PA 453, PA 764, and PA 36.

Timothy Reichard 12/22/02
Now on PA 56 east approaching the same interchange from the other direction.
Timothy Reichard 12/22/02
The exit to southbound I-99/US 220 is approached first. Business US 220 should start here.
Timothy Reichard 12/22/02
Instead, Business US 220 starts at the junction with the Old US 220 with no extension along PA 56 to I-99/US 220. PA 56 east turns right as Business US 220 begins to the right at the intersection ahead.
Timothy Reichard 12/22/02
The view from the beginning of southbound Business US 220. The duplex and business route begin just ahead.
Timothy Reichard 12/22/02
The northern end of the Business US 220/PA 56 duplex looking south.
Timothy Reichard 12/22/02
Back to the southern split, Business US 220 makes a left and heads to an interchange with the Pennsylvania Turnpike, which is the I-70/I-76 duplex in this area..
