History
PA 980 was signed in 1928. However, it wasn't until 1932 until it was paved from Imperial to Carnot. In 1936, the route was moved from Imperial to Carnot, to its current location. That route is now currently PA 978. In 1951, its northern terminus was moved from US 30, the Lincoln Highway in Clinton to the William Penn Highway. In 1965, its northern terminus was moved from the William Penn Highway to its current location at the junction with US 22.
