That detour used Ohio S.R. 39 through the East End of East Liverpool to reach Pennsylvania S.R. 68. It remained on that route through Midland, PA, then used Pennsylvania S.R. 168 on the Shippingport Bridge to cross the river. From there, it proceeded southwest along highway 168 through Hoookstown, PA, where it then turned and rejoined
