Driving National Highway 15 to Corning, NY For FCA 2018 Meet

From Harrisburg you would take US-22, which is a freeway, west from I-81 until after you cross the river; then you hop on US-11/15 northbound, which is a four-lane (not a freeway) that runs along the west shore of the river.

It becomes a freeway for a few miles but then you exit onto a crowded stretch of four-or six-lane, with lots of signals, for about 5 miles or so. Once you break free of that the road narrows down to two lanes and, as US-15, takes you up to Williamsport, where you hop on I-180 westbound for a few miles. Then you exit onto US-15 northbound, which is a fairly new freeway that will take you all the way to N.Y. state. Get on I-86 eastbound and almost immediately exit onto NY-352, and you're in Corning!

I'd suggest you get on Google Maps and map the route from Harrisburg to Corning, which should follow this route exactly.

 

Our caravan from the Mid-Atlantic will be traveling that route. Perhaps we will see you - maybe lunch if not too early? Our planned route is:

• 09:30 - Depart for second meeting spot in Frederick via I-270
  
• 10:00 - Arrive Frederick, MD <=== Meeting spot for those coming from Baltimore County, Loudoun County, (and Anne Arundel County if preferred)
  
• 10:15 - Depart for Williamsport via US-15
  
• 13:00 - Lunch at Santino’s Italian Cuisine (24 E Southern Ave, Williamsport, PA 17702)

I can't answer about possible flooding, but I don't think the rains will get that heavy that far north. But nobody knows that this early, so keep watching the forecast, and good luck. I'll be going that way on Friday.

 

And I plan to be leaving from Charlotte Friday morning towing an enclosed trailer. Hopefully the hurricane will not alter my plans!

 

Agreed. The current forecast doesn’t have rain or significant wind that far north. It may make it there later over the weekend but hopefully not to Corning! I’m keeping an eye on it for our group too.

Sounds like a great time to leave Charlotte!

 

I'm thinking about altering my route a bit and going through West Virginia (Beckley and Morgantown). Surprisingly, it's only about 40 miles longer.

 

Note of warning: Route 15 is deer central at dusk and at night. Not sure of your return plans but be aware that we saw literally herds of deer along and in the road coming home late in the day from a pro rally in the Tiadaghton State Forest a few years ago.
