An Act amending the act of June 22, 1931 (P.L.594, No.203), referred to as the Township State Highway Law, adding a route in Dauphin County and in York County.
SB 1181 adds two specific road segments to Pennsylvania’s state highway system under the 1931 Township State Highway Law. It designates Bow Creek Road (Route T-612) in Dauphin County (1.91 miles from Jonestown Road) and Susquehanna Trail (Route T-956) in York County (2.05 miles from Manchester Township line) as state highways. The bill requires local townships to formally accept the "turn-back" of these roads from state maintenance (subject to existing 40-foot widths) before the routes are officially added. Implementation depends on publishing notices in the Pennsylvania Bulletin after township acceptance.
