Upon its completion, the Pennsylvania Extension was numbered 700P, consistent with the numbering of the mainline Turnpike as 700. The number remained until 1985, when the efforts to build the I-95 Somerset Freeway were exhausted and it was decided to route I-95 on the Turnpike mainline and the Pennsylvania Extension to the PA state line, anticipating action on Pennsylvania's part to complete the gap. 700P then became part of 95 and remains so upon closure of the gap in 2018.
