Unlike most Interstate numbers, which are assigned by AASHTO to fit into a grid, I-99's number was written into the National Highway Designation Act of 1995 by Bud Shuster, then-chair of the U.S. House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. It had been designated as a High Priority Corridor by the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991. The number was not chosen to fit the grid, as it lies between Interstate 79 and Interstate 81, and no suitable two-digit number was available.

The National Highway Designation Act of 1995 amended ISTEA; among these amendments were that "the portion of the route referred to in subsection (c)(9) [Corridor 9] is designated as Interstate Route I-99." This was the first Interstate number to be written into law rather than assigned by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). (Interstate 73 and the extension of Interstate 74 had been defined in 1991 by ISTEA as the "I-73/74 North-South Corridor", but not officially added to the Interstate Highway System or assigned those numbers.)

On its completion in 2002, U.S. Route 220 was rerouted via US 322 and the new road, and the old US 220 north of US 322 was designated U.S. Route 220 Alternate.

The road through the Bald Eagle Valley between Bald Eagle and State College is presently under construction, and the interchange with I-80 is not up to freeway standards. Construction has been delayed since 2004 by complaints from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection about acidic surface runoff from unearthed pyritic rock leaking into the groundwater and nearby creeks draining to the Bald Eagle Creek. Excavation began in late 2002, and a year later, more than 3 million cubic meters of excavation spoils had been generated, with up to 30% from a 200 meter vein of Ordovician sandstone containing iron sulfide, or iron pyrite. When exposed to air and water, these minerals produced sulfuric acid, contaminating both surface runoff and groundwater[3].
