US 220 departs the National Freeway and is part of the future I-99 corridor to Bedford, Pa., where it becomes I-99.

Heading north from Cumberland toward Pennsylvania.

I-99's southern terminus is at the ramp from US 220 to Business US 220 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
|
The short stretch of US 220 north of I-68 is built as two lanes on four-lane right of way. It will be easy to upgrade this to interstate standards.

I-99 is signed on the overheads here, but it officially does not begin until the ramp to the turnpike. There is no direct access to the turnpike; instead, ramps lead to Business 220 and the turnpike has an interchance with Business 220.

This exit marks the official beginning of I-99. The ramp leads to Business US 220, whereby access to the turnpike is gained.
