Interstate 84 (I-84) in Pennsylvania is part of the east segment of a non-contiguous freeway that runs from Dunmore to the New York border.
I-84 starts in Pennsylvania at I-81 in Dunmore, a suburb east of Scranton. After two miles (3.2 km), I-84 intersects I-380, as the latter goes southeasterly through the Poconos and I-84 continues almost due east into Wayne and Pike counties. The Pennsylvania section is the only segment of I-84 that uses mile-based exit numbers; sequential numbers were replaced starting in 2001.
This section of Pennsylvania is very lightly populated, and there are no major settlements on or near I-84, although it offers access to popular outdoor recreation areas such as Lake Wallenpaupack and Promised Land State Park. Its right-of-way is very wide, with a large median strip between the two carriageways as it passes through densely wooded country, except for the swampy areas in southern Wayne County. The only development along Pennsylvania's section of I-84 is where U.S. Route 6 (US 6) and US 209 start to parallel closely and form a commercial strip just south of Matamoras, just west of the Delaware River. I-84 reaches its highest elevation in Pennsylvania and in the east just west of exit 8 at 1,800 feet (550 m).
