and Pocono Summit and the road between PA 115 in Pocono Summit and PA 90 (now PA 390) west of Paradise Valley was designated as PA 615. At this time, PA 115 between Blakeslee and Pocono Summit and all of PA 615 was paved. By 1930, the unnumbered road between Hazleton and White Haven was paved. In April 1935, the eastern terminus of PA 940 was extended from Blakeslee to US 611 in Swiftwater, replacing this section of PA 115. By 1940, the road was paved between White Haven and Blakeslee. In 1946, PA 615 was decommissioned and the segment went unnumbered. By 1950, PA 940 was extended west from White Haven to US 309 in Hazleton. In 1956, the segment from Mount Pocono to Paradise Valley was designated as an extension of PA 196. PA 940 near Pocono Summit was upgraded to a divided highway in 1964; as a result the PA 196 designation between Mount Pocono and Paradise Valley was removed and PA 940 was rerouted and extended to an intersection with PA 191 in Paradise Valley. The former alignment of PA 940 between Pocono Summit and Swiftwater became the western portion of PA 314. Major intersections PA 940 Truck Pennsylvania Route 940 Truck (PA 940 Truck) was a truck route of PA 940 that bypassed a weight-restricted bridge over the Tobyhanna Creek at Pocono Lake in Tobyhanna Township, on which trucks over 30 tons and combination loads over 40 tons are prohibited. The route followed PA 115, I-80, and I-380. It was signed in 2013, but it was decommissioned in 2016 following a bridge repair.
