| Westbound U.S. 22-322 between Arch Rock and Lewistown is known as The Narrows. The Narrows are well known as a dangerous area, due to its narrow width, single lane in each direction, heavy traffic volume, freeway entrances on both sides of the Narrows, and limited sight distance. This picture shows U.S. 22-322 just beyond the Narrows, as it approaches a brief overlap with U.S. 522 at Lewistown. Photo taken 10/09/01.

| What was the merge of U.S. 322 (28th Division Highway) westbound with U.S. 220 ten miles west of State College. This distinction changed for the trumpet interchange with the two highways upon opening of the U.S. 220 & Future Interstate 99 freeway between State College and Pleasant Gap. Now U.S. 220 follows all of U.S. 322 from Port Matilda eastward to the Mount Nittany Expressway. U.S. 220 north of here to Milesburg is now U.S. 220 Alternate. Photo taken 10/09/01.
