HB 333 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

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.

HB 333 adds two specific road segments to Pennsylvania's state highway system under the Township State Highway Law. It designates Bow Creek Road (T-612) in Dauphin County and Susquehanna Trail (T-956) in York County as state highways after required improvements. The bill requires local townships (South Hanover and East Hanover in Dauphin County, Conewago in York County) to formally accept the turn-back of these existing roads from the state before maintenance responsibility transfers. Once accepted and published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, the state Department of Transportation will no longer maintain these routes, shifting responsibility to the townships. This is a procedural update to highway maintenance jurisdiction, not a new funding or service.
