Pennsylvania Route 199 is a 4.8-mile-long (7.7 km) state highway located in Bradford County in Pennsylvania. The southern terminus is at U.S. Route 220 near Athens. The northern terminus is the New York state line in Sayre, where it connects to New York State Route 34 and an interchange with Interstate 86 (I-86)/NY 17. PA 199 runs north–south through the Penn-York Valley communities of Athens and Sayre, following Main Street in Athens and Keystone Avenue, Mohawk Street, and Spring Street in Sayre. The section of PA 199 between the southern terminus and the intersection of Keystone Avenue and Mohawk Street in Sayre was designated as part of US 711 when the U.S. Highway System was created in 1926, being renumbered to US 220 a year later. Between 1930 and the 1960s, US 309 was concurrent with this portion of US 220. In the 1970s, US 220 was moved to a western bypass of the towns and PA 199 was designated onto its current alignment.
