Route Description
The pre-freeway route of US 111 consisted primarily of two-lane rural highway through Pennsylvania and Maryland, with the segments through the various towns and cities it passes through consisting mainly of suburban and city streets. South of Hunt Valley, Maryland, the route is heavily built up and serves as a major urban highway all the way into Baltimore.
From Baltimore to Lemoyne, US 111 roughly followed the present Interstate 83. Its south end was at Greenmount Avenue (now Maryland Route 45) and North Avenue (still U.S. Route 1) in Baltimore. The old alignment in Maryland is now Maryland Route 45, while in Pennsylvania—except through York, where it is now Interstate 83 Business, another major urban highway—it is mostly unsigned Quadrant Routes and township roads, many still named Susquehanna Trail. At the intersection of 3rd Street and Market Street in Lemoyne, US 111 reached its original northern terminus on U.S. Route 11.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space—out of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“Once a child has demonstrated his capacity for independent functioning in any area, his lapses into dependent behavior, even though temporary, make the mother feel that she is being taken advantage of....What only yesterday was a description of the child’s stage in life has become an indictment, a judgment.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
