  • Description
  • In the 1940s the New William Penn Highway was built as a two-lane road. Originally designed as a by-pass to Old Route 22, the construction of modern Route 22 was done in fits and starts, plagued by delays because materials were needed for the war. Completed in 1942, and widened to four lanes in 1959, it set the stage for today’s business strip that defines the core of modern Monroeville.
