Route description
PA 999 has many names along the route. The names include Penn Street, Blue Rock Road, Manor Avenue, and Millersville Pike. Most locals however, will refer to the route as Millersville Pike throughout the entire route.
The route begins in the village of Washington Boro, at the intersection of the southern terminus of PA 441, and River Road. The route heads east to the town of Millersville. After crossing through the town, it heads northeast towards the city of Lancaster. The route terminates in the city at PA 462 eastbound (King Street). The route does not connect PA 462 westbound however, and to get to it, one must drive up 2 blocks up King Street to Mulberry Street, and go up one block to get to westbound PA 462 (Orange Street)
History
