End of historic US highway 106 |
 |

US 106 was about 93.9 miles long. Want historic mileages? Our handy reference book includes the mileages that were published in all 13 of AASHO/AASHTO's historic route logs (spanning the years 1927 to 1989).

US 106 was an original 1926 route; its west end was at its junction with US 6 in Wyalusing:

Old US 106 is now designated as PA hwy. 706; its terminus at US 6 is at the same location as the historic western terminus of US 106.

The preceding excerpt was from AASHO's original (Apr. 1927) route log; according to that the east terminus of US 106 was at the state line at the edge of Narrowsburg NY:

The map above illustrates US 106 ending at the state boundary, although it should be noted that a quite detailed 1959 Gousha road atlas explicitly shows US 106 crossing the Delaware and ending in downtown Narrowsburg (but not extending to NY 97). If that was accurate, then this photo shows that location:

That was heading east on NY hwy. 52 in Narrowsburg. Just behind the camera, at the PA/NY state line (which is formed by the channel of the Delaware River), PA hwy. 652 (old US 106) becomes NY hwy. 52. Upon landing on the NY shore, drivers are in downtown Narrowsburg, and there is a fork in the road: to the right is Main Street, while NY 52 is routed left towards NY 97. US 106 may have ended at that fork.

The US 106 designation was decommissioned in 1971; following is that agenda item from the minutes of AASHO's December 1971 meeting:
