Mahoning Street in Milton, PA plays a key role in the traffic flow related to the new Central Susquehanna Valley Thruway (CSVT) and Route 147 realignment. Here's how it fits into the corridor: - Connection Point from Route 147 / CSVT to Milton Mahoning Street is one of the first main roads travelers hit after exiting from the new Route 147 (CSVT). The southern section of the CSVT, which connects Route 15 to Route 147 near Northumberland and Sunbury, was designed to reroute through-traffic away from congested town centers like Northumberland and Milton. However, GPS systems still route traffic off the CSVT for fuel, food, and convenience—sending them onto Mahoning Street. - Commercial Access and Visibility Mahoning Street serves as a commercial corridor through Milton, with direct access to gas stations, retail, and potential franchise sites. Businesses located here benefit from diverted highway traffic, especially with the lack of other commercial hubs immediately off the highway. - First Commercial Stop from the North For southbound travelers exiting the new highway, Mahoning Street is one of the first chances to stop, making it an ideal quick-stop or franchise location. There are few fast-food or franchise options directly at the exits, so Mahoning Street is strategically positioned to capture this demand.
