'''Pennsylvania Route 14''' ('''PA 14''') is a [[Pennsylvania]] highway that runs for {{convert|52|mi|km}}. It runs from [[U.S.Interstate Route 1599]] (New YorkI-99)|U.S. Route 15]] in [[Lewis Township, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania|Trout Run, Pennsylvania]] to the [[New York-Pennsylvania border]] at [[South Creek Township, Pennsylvania|Fassett, Pennsylvania]], co-signed with [[U.S. Route 6 (in Pennsylvania)|U.S. RouteUS 6]] for a short distance in [[Troy, Pennsylvania|Troy]]. The highway continues in [[New York (state)|New York]] as [[New York State Route 14]] (NY 14).

It once extended [[south]] all the way to the [[Maryland]] border, following Lycoming Creek Road, High Street, Hepburn Street, Market Street and East Third Street through the [[Williamsport, Pennsylvania|Williamsport]] area. It roughly followed the [[Susquehanna Trail]] to [[Northumberland, Pennsylvania|Northumberland]], [[U.S. Route 11 (in Pennsylvania)|U.S. RouteUS 11]] to [[Shamokin Dam, Pennsylvania|Shamokin Dam]], US 15 to [[York Springs, Pennsylvania|York Springs]], and [[Pennsylvania Route 94|PA 94]] to Maryland.

PA 14 begins at [[Interstate 99|I-99]]/[[U.S. Route 15 in Pennsylvania|US 15]] in Trout Run in [[Lycoming County, Pennsylvania|Lycoming County]] and heads northeast, paralleling [[Lycoming Creek]].<ref name="aaa-pa-2006">{{cite map|publisher=[[American Automobile Association]]|title=New Jersey-Pennsylvania|edition=2006}}</ref>. It then turns more northerly at [[Bodines, Pennsylvania|Bodines]] before crossing into [[Tioga County, Pennsylvania|Tioga County]]. It runs through [[Roaring Branch, Pennsylvania|Roaring Branch]] before entering [[Bradford County, Pennsylvania|Bradford County]].

In Bradford County, PA 14 provides access to [[Grover, Pennsylvania|Grover]], then forms a short [[concurrency (road)|concurrency]] with [[PA 414]], splitting up in [[Canton, Pennsylvania|Canton]]. North of Canton, PA 14 passes through [[Alba, Pennsylvania|Alba]] before serving as the west terminus of [[PA 514]] south of [[Troy, Pennsylvania|Troy]]. At Troy, PA 14 joins with [[US 6]]. PA 14 then splits off to the north to [[Columbia Cross Roads, Pennsylvania|Columbia Cross Roads]]. PA 14 then runs through [[Snedekerville, Pennsylvania|Snedekerville]], [[Gillett, Pennsylvania|Gillett]], and [[Fassett, Pennsylvania|Fassett]] before crossing the [[New York (state)|New York]] state line and becoming [[NY 14]].

PA 14 was formed in 1927, stretching from the [[Maryland]] state line to the [[New York (state)|New York]] state line. When formed, it was [[concurrency (road)|concurrent]] with several [[U.S. Highways]] in the [[Williamsport, Pennsylvania|Williamsport]] area, including [[U.S. Route 111|U.S. RoutesUS 111]], [[U.S. Route 120|US 120]], and [[U.S. Route 220 in Pennsylvania|US 220]]. From [[Harrisburg (PA)|Harrisburg]] to [[York, PA|York]], it followed [[U.S. Route 15 in Pennsylvania|US 15]] and what is today [[Pennsylvania Route 94|PA 94]] via the [[Susquehanna Trail]].<ref name="1926 map"/><ref name="1927 map"/> In 1930, the route was realigned onto what is now [[Pennsylvania Route 405|PA 405]] from [[Lewisburg, Pennsylvania|Lewisburg]] to [[Muncy, Pennsylvania|Muncy]].<ref>{{cite map|url=ftp://ftp.dot.state.pa.us/public/pdf/BPR_pdf_files/Maps/Statewide/Historic_OTMs/1930fr.pdf|title=Pennsylvania state map|year=1930|publisher=Pennsylvania Department of Highways|accessdate=September 6, 2007-09-06|format=PDF|url-status=dead|archiveurl=http://archive.wikiwix.com/cache/20110705143935/ftp://ftp.dot.state.pa.us/public/pdf/BPR_pdf_files/Maps/Statewide/Historic_OTMs/1930fr.pdf|archivedate=July 5, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite map|url=http://www.mapsofpa.com/roadcart/1931parcom.jpg|title=Pennsylvania Motor Trails Map (eastern half)|year=1931|publisher=Langwith|accessdate=September 6, 2007-09-06}}</ref>

By 1940, US 111 was redesignated as [[U.S. RouteUS 15]]. As in previous years, PA 14 remained concurrent with the roadway now carrying US 15 to [[Northumberland, Pennsylvania|Northumberland]]. From Northumberland south to [[Duncannon, Pennsylvania|Duncannon]], PA 14 was realigned onto the western bank of the [[Susquehanna River]], creating an overlap with [[U.S. Route 11 in Pennsylvania|US 11]]. At Duncannon, US 11 split from PA 14 and crossed the Susquehanna while PA 14 continued south along the riverbank to [[Lemoyne, Pennsylvania|Lemoyne]], a suburb of [[Harrisburg, (PA)Pennsylvania|Harrisburg]]. Here, PA 14 joined US 11 on a brief overlap east across the Susquehanna into Harrisburg. At Front Street, US 11 turned north while PA 14 continued east on Market Street. PA 14 then turned right onto 4th Street, following theMulberry and Derry roadStreets out of Harrisburg to [[Paxtang, Pennsylvania|Paxtang]], where PA 14 terminated at [[U.S. Route 322 in Pennsylvania|US 322]] and [[U.S. Route 422|US 422]].<ref>{{cite map|url=ftp://ftp.dot.state.pa.us/public/pdf/BPR_pdf_files/Maps/Statewide/Historic_OTMs/1940fr.pdf|title=Pennsylvania state map (front side)|year=1940|publisher=Pennsylvania Department of Highways|accessdate=September 6, 2007-09-06|format=PDF|url-status=dead|archiveurl=http://archive.wikiwix.com/cache/20110705143930/ftp://ftp.dot.state.pa.us/public/pdf/BPR_pdf_files/Maps/Statewide/Historic_OTMs/1940fr.pdf|archivedate=July 5, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite map|url=ftp://ftp.dot.state.pa.us/public/pdf/BPR_pdf_files/Maps/Statewide/Historic_OTMs/1940bk.pdf|title=Pennsylvania state map (back side)|year=1940|publisher=Pennsylvania Department of Highways|accessdate=September 6, 2007|format=PDF|url-09status=dead|archiveurl=http://archive.wikiwix.com/cache/20110718213922/ftp://ftp.dot.state.pa.us/public/pdf/BPR_pdf_files/Maps/Statewide/Historic_OTMs/1940bk.pdf|archivedate=July 18, 2011}}</ref> In 1941, PA 14 was rerouted to the east side of the Susquehanna River from Muncy to [[Clarks Ferry, Pennsylvania|Clarks Ferry]] on what is now [[Interstate 180 (Pennsylvania)|Interstate 180]] and [[Pennsylvania Route 147|PA 147]]; the US 15 designation was moved west to run concurrent with US 11.
