Pennsylvania Route 474 (PA 474) (designated by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation as SR 0474) is a short state highway in Venango Township, Erie County, Pennsylvania. The route begins at an intersection with PA 8 and PA 89 (which are concurrent) in the borough of Wattsburg, heading for 3.20 miles (5.15 km) into the rural parts of Venango Township before crossing the state line into New York, where it continues to Sherman, New York as New York State Route 474 (NY 474). The route in Pennsylvania was assigned in 1984 as a continuation of NY 474, which was designated in the early 1970s as a replacement to New York State Route 74.
The route itself began as the privately maintained and tolled Wattsburg and State Line Plank Road. The plank road was chartered on March 25, 1851, running from North Street in Wattsburg to the state line, where it would continue to Sherman. The plank road was set $6,250 (1851 USD) in shares to begin.
