Before Route 6 was numbered, this
road across Pennsylvania was called the Roosevelt Highway. The name was
retained when 6 was numbered from Cape Cod to Erie, Pennsylvania in the
late 1920s. And, for a time transcontinental Route 6 was promoted as the
Roosevelt Highway. At various locations in Pennsylvania, like this one in
Mainesburg, the road retains the Roosevelt label. (July 1999 photo) | |
