U.S. Route 219 Business is a business route of U.S. Route 219 that travels for 4 miles through Meyersdale, Pennsylvania. The route was designated after a freeway bypass was constructed around the borough to avoid the variety of turns that the highway previously made through the municipality. The road travels as Beachley Street and Grant Street before becoming a rural road as it reconnects with its parent north of Meyersdale.

| Location | Carrolltown–Mahaffey, Pennsylvania |
U.S. Route 219 Alternate is a proposed alternate route of US 219 between Carrolltown in Cambria County and Mahaffey in Clearfield County. The route will follow Sunset Road (unsigned SR 4013) and PA 36. The alternate route is being designated in order to increase capacity along the US 219 corridor. Improvements will be made to Sunset Road and PA 36 before US 219 Alt. is designated. The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials approved US 219 Alt. in 2009. Designation of the route was expected in 2015 once upgrades were complete,[4] but as of November 2018[update], the route is not yet posted.
