The Lakes-to-Sea Highway was an auto trail in the Northeast U.S., running from Erie, Pennsylvania (on Lake Erie) southeast via Harrisburg and Philadelphia to Atlantic City, New Jersey (on the Atlantic Ocean - the "sea"). It was originally designated Pennsylvania Route 5 in 1924[1] and Route 3 in New Jersey in 1916.
The highway roughly followed the following present routes:
- U.S. Route 19, Erie to Meadville
- U.S. Route 322, Meadville to West Chester
- Pennsylvania Route 3, West Chester to Philadelphia
- U.S. Route 30, Philadelphia to Atlantic City
It ran along the William Penn Highway between Water Street and Hershey.[2][3]
