[edit] History

From 1928 to 1932, PA 405 was assigned to the current alignment of U.S. Route 322 between Phillispburg and Sandy Ridge. In 1930, the route was paved. In 1941, PA 405 was reassigned onto its current alignment. In 1972, the southern terminus was moved from Susquehanna Trail to Chillisquaque.

[edit] Future

As part of the Central Susquehanna Valley Transportation Project, PA 405 will continue south from its current southern terminus, replacing the stretch of PA 147 until its junction with PA 61 in Sunbury, its new southern terminus. PA 147 will have an alternate route between those two junctions and will not be duplexed with PA 405 at any point.^[2]
