At exit 27A, US 15 leaves the overlap running south across the Carl E. Stotz Memorial Little League Bridge, and I-180 continues eastward, still concurrent with US 220 northbound. From there, I-180 runs along the West Branch Susquehanna River until the highway reaches the eastern suburbs of Williamsport, where US 220 leaves the Interstate via exit 15.

From I-99/US 220 to the eastern terminus, I-180 is aligned north–south, though the highway is signed east–west. I-180 terminates at an interchange with I-80, and the freeway continues as Pennsylvania Route 147 (PA 147).

History

I-180 was designated in January 1984 and was signed concurrently with US 220 between US 15 in Williamsport and Pennsdale and replaced PA 147 between US 220 in Pennsdale and I-80 near Milton.
