PA 66(N-S)/PA 948(S-N) Duplex

PA 66 and PA 948 join in opposite directions for a 3 mile wrong-way duplex through Russell City in Elk County.

Both PA 66 and PA 948 traverse the Allegheny National Forest through Elk County. One might find difficulty in believing that PA 66, which follows a path through remote areas in this forst is the same route that becomes a Turnpike expressway some 100 miles to the south. PA 948 is also a long route, quite long for a 900-series route, but remains mainly in rural areas through its trek to Ridgway and beyond.

In Chaffee, which is a tiny town of little extent beyond the upcoming intersection, PA 66 and PA 948 split apart at the western split.
