PA 53(N-S)/PA 453(S-N) Duplex

PA 53 and PA 453 form a wrong-way duplex for one block in Madera in Clearfield County.

The duplexed routes cross Clearfield Creek. The eastern split is just behind the camera. The western split is straight ahead, just out of sight.

PA 453 southbound traffic approaches these shields at the western split.

The western split is full of signs. Here are more from PA 53 northbound.

These PA 453 shields are the ones posted immediately at the western split. The Clearfield Creek bridge is just ahead. The shields for the eastern split can barely be seen with a green mileage sign on top.

Timothy Reichard 7/14/02

Here are those shields and the mileage sign. Both routes have a duplex in the two listed towns: US 322/PA 53 in Philipsburg and Business US 220/PA 453 in Tyrone.

PA 453 sees the same sign assembly at each split, with directions reversed. Compare this photo at the eastern split with that at the western split (above).
