In 1967, construction on the road was restarted on a southern section from PA 940 to PA 423 and PA 507 to the Dorantown Road overpass, and, in 1968, was expanded to the sections from PA 423 to PA 507 and the Dorantown Road overpass to PA 307. This section opened in 1970 with US 611 multiplexed onto the portion between exit 8 (now PA 611) and exit 13 (PA 507) adjacent to Gouldsboro State Park.
