[3] [4] Following the US 222 interchange, the road becomes two-lane undivided Division Highway continues southeastward through the Pennsylvania Dutch Country of eastern Lancaster County, which is home to many Amish farms. [3] [4] [7] [8] The route crosses the Conestoga River and passes through the community of Hinkletown. Farther southeast, US 322 runs through the community of Reidenbach before it reaches the community of Blue Ball, where it has an intersection with PA 23. The road runs near some development and forms a short concurrency with PA 897. From here, the route continues east through agricultural areas, passing through the communities of Fetterville and Beartown. At this point, US 322 travels east-southeast across Welsh Mountain. [3] [4]

US 322 enters Chester County and becomes Horseshoe Pike, continuing southeast through rural areas to the borough of Honey Brook. At this point, the route runs southeast through the borough, where it intersects PA 10. Upon leaving Honey Brook, the road continues through rural areas with increasing development, crossing the West Branch Brandywine Creek. Farther southeast, US 322 reaches an intersection with PA 82 in the community of Brandywine Manor. From here, the route runs southeast through suburban areas with some rural land, passing through the communities of Little Washington and Guthriesville. The road comes to a partial cloverleaf interchange with the US 30 freeway, where it briefly becomes a divided highway. Past this interchange, US 322 passes north of a park and ride lot and becomes Manor Avenue, a three-lane road with a center left-turn lane that enters the borough of Downingtown. Here, the route passes through developed areas, heading to the south of Downingtown West High School, and narrows to two lanes before coming to an intersection with US 30 Bus. At this point, US 322 turns northeast for a concurrency with US 30 Bus. on West Lancaster Avenue, crossing the East Branch Brandywine Creek and heading in the downtown area of Downingtown on East Lancaster Avenue. US 322 splits from US 30 Bus. by turning south onto Brandywine Avenue, with US 322 Truck heading east along with US 30 Bus. The route passes under Amtrak's Keystone Corridor railroad line and intersects the other end of US 322 Truck at Boot Road along the southern border of Downingtown. From here, the road curves southeast and passes over the East Branch Brandywine Creek and under an abandoned railroad line. At this point, US 322 becomes Downingtown Pike and runs parallel to the creek through a mix of rural and suburban areas. The route turns east and crosses the creek, at which point the East Branch Brandywine Creek turns south away from the road. [3] [4]

US 322 widens to four lanes and turns east onto the two-lane undivided West Chester Bypass, with US 322 Bus. continuing southeast along Downingtown Pike toward the borough of West Chester. The route follows the bypass east-northeast through suburban areas to the north of West Chester, coming to a westbound exit to northbound Pottstown Pike and eastbound entrance from southbound Pottstown Pike. The road continues northeast and curves east, passing under an abandoned railroad line before merging into the southbound direction of the US 202 freeway at a partial interchange. US 202/US 322 continue south-southeast along the West Chester Bypass as a four-lane freeway bypassing West Chester to the east, coming to a partial cloverleaf interchange with Paoli Pike. A short distance later, the two routes reach a partial cloverleaf interchange with PA 3. The freeway continues south to a diamond interchange at Westtown Road before it curves southwest, passing over the West Chester Railroad before coming to an at-grade intersection with South Matlack Street. Following this, the bypass continues to its terminus at a trumpet interchange with the eastern terminus of US 322 Bus., which heads north (west) into West Chester on South High Street. At this point, US 202/US 322 exit and head southeast along four-lane divided Wilmington Pike, passing through suburban areas. The road comes to a jughandle-controlled intersection at Stetson Middle School Drive/Skiles Boulevard before it crosses PA 926 in the community of Darlington Corners. [3] [4]

US 202/US 322 crosses into Delaware County and continues southeast along Wilmington-West Chester Pike, coming to an intersection with Oakland Road that has an eastbound jughandle. The road comes to the community of Painters Crossing and reaches an intersection with US 1, where US 322 splits from US 202 by heading east along with US 1 on four-lane divided Baltimore Pike. The road continues east to the community of Concordville, where US 322 splits from US 1 by heading southeast along Conchester Highway, a four-lane divided highway. The route runs through suburban areas, passing over Smithbridge Road and narrowing to a two-lane undivided road before coming to an interchange with the northern terminus of PA 261. The road continues east and passes over Chichester Avenue before it widens into a four-lane divided highway and reaches an interchange with PA 452. Farther east, US 322 passes over CSX's Philadelphia Subdivision railroad line and comes to an interchange with Bethel Road. The route passes north of CSX's Twin Oaks Rail Yard, an automotive unloading facility, before it comes to an interchange with I-95 and Highland Avenue. At this interchange, US 322 merges onto northbound I-95; this interchange consists of full access between US 322 and Highland Avenue and partial access between US 322 and I-95. At this point, US 322 joins I-95 on the Delaware Expressway, a seven-lane freeway with four northbound lanes and three southbound lanes and enters the city of Chester, passing through urban areas. The freeway leaves the city limits and US 322 splits from I-95 to head southeast on a freeway at a directional T interchange; this interchange includes a ramp from westbound US 322 to Concord Road. The route crosses back into Chester as it follows a five-lane freeway with three eastbound lanes and two westbound lanes that is maintained by the Delaware River Port Authority. The freeway comes to a westbound exit and eastbound entrance with US 13 Bus. before it passes over Amtrak's Northeast Corridor railroad line and reaches an eastbound exit and westbound entrance with US 13/PA 291. At this point, US 322 heads onto the Commodore Barry Bridge, passing over Conrail Shared Assets Operations' Chester Industrial Track line and running to the northeast of Subaru Park, the home stadium of the Philadelphia Union of Major League Soccer, before it crosses the Delaware River into New Jersey.

The earliest predecessors of US 322 were several turnpikes. The Downingstown, Ephrata, and Harrisburg Turnpike was chartered in 1803, forming the bulk of the highway east of Harrisburg. [9] A brief section from Philipsburg to West Decatur was part of the Philipsburg and Susquehanna Turnpike, with a western terminus at Curwensville. From there to Meadville, the highway was the Susquehanna and Waterford Turnpike, which extended north to Waterford. The latter two turnpikes were part of the cross-state route known as the Northumberland and Waterford Turnpike. [10]

These highways were mostly incorporated into the Lakes-to-Sea Highway, which went from Erie east to Atlantic City, New Jersey. This route deviated from the early turnpikes in central Pennsylvania, by swinging south from DuBois along US 219 to service Grampian, then north on PA 879 to service Clearfield. From Philipsburg, it followed PA 53 to Osceola Mills and State Street and PA 350 to Bald Eagle. It then went south along South Bald Eagle Road (at the time also US 220) to Tyrone, then PA 453 and PA 45 meet US 22 at Water Street. The two highways bore a concurrency to Harrisburg. At the time of their marking, both highways swung north from Mill Creek, following PA 655 to Reedsville, then south to Lewistown, where they resumed the modern alignment. From West Chester, the highway followed PA 3 to Philadelphia. This highway was numbered as PA 5 in the earliest numbering system in the state.

US 322, in its original inception, followed PA 5 from Water Street to Meadville, where it continued west on its modern alignment. Both US 22 and US 322 followed their modern alignments east of Lewistown. [11] In 1928, concurrencies with this highway and its PA 5 moniker were deleted in favor of the national number. In 1937, US 322 was extended to and through New Jersey, replacing what remained of PA 5 between Harrisburg and West Chester, and PA 61 to Chester. [12]

In 1957, US 322 was routed onto a limited-access bypass of West Chester to the north and east. As a result, US 322 Bus. replaced the US 322 designation through West Chester. [13] [14] In 1970, the highway was rerouted to bypass Curwensville to the north, replacing a section of PA 410.

In December 2007, construction to convert the section of US 22/US 322 through the Lewistown Narrows from a two-lane highway to a divided, limited-access four-lane highway was completed. [15]

To decrease congestion and improve safety, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) began a project in 2014 to reconstruct US 322 from the Centre/Mifflin county line to the route's interchange with PA 144, at a cost of about $93 million. On March 30, 2018, the Sand Mountain Road interchange opened, replacing the at-grade intersection. The bulk of the cost of the project is related to an extension of the four-lane portion of US 322 through Potters Mills Gap and a new interchange with PA 144, which opened on October 10, 2020. [16] [17] [18] The State College Area Connector project will upgrade US 322 to four lanes between the eastern terminus of the Mount Nittany Expressway and the PA 144 interchange. On August 9, 2023, three build alternatives for the project were released, with proposals to construct along the PA 144 corridor and upgrade the existing alignment of US 322 eliminated. [19] On January 19, 2024, it was announced that plans to build a connector road to PA 45 were dropped. [20]

The section of US 322 along Conchester Highway between US 1 in Concordville and I-95 in Chester opened in 1954. [21] PennDOT had plans since 1979 to widen the stretch of US 322 along Conchester Highway from a two-lane road to a four-lane road. The stretch of road saw a large number of accidents and fatalities, leading to the nickname "Killer Conchester". [22] Construction on the project to widen the Conchester Highway section of US 322 began on April 28, 2017, with Governor Tom Wolf, PennDOT secretary Leslie Richards, and other state and local officials in attendance for a groundbreaking ceremony. [21] Construction on the first phase of the widening between US 1 and Clayton Park Drive started in 2017 and was completed in December 2020. [21] [23] Plans to widen US 322 between Clayton Park Drive and east of Chelsea Parkway/Bethel Avenue are in the final design phase, with construction to begin in 2025. Plans to reconstruct the four-lane section of US 322 from Cherry Tree Road/Bethel Avenue to east of PA 452 are in the final design phase, with construction to begin in 2024. Plans to replace the bridge over the CSX tracks and Bethel Road along with improving the Bethel Road interchange are in the final design phase, with construction to begin in 2024. [24]

In 2019, construction began to convert the interchange with US 222 near Ephrata into a diverging diamond interchange. The diverging diamond interchange, which cost $10.9 million and received federal funding, opened on May 17, 2021, one year ahead of schedule. [25]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">U.S. Route 50 in Maryland</span> Section of U.S. Highway in Maryland, United States

U.S. Route 50 is a major east–west route of the U.S. Highway system, stretching just over 3,000 miles (4,800 km) from West Sacramento, California, east to Ocean City, Maryland, on the Atlantic Ocean. In the U.S. state of Maryland, US 50 exists in two sections. The longer of these serves as a major route connecting Washington, D.C., with Ocean City; the latter is the eastern terminus of the highway. The other section passes through the southern end of Garrett County for less than 10 miles (16 km) as part of the Northwestern Turnpike, entering West Virginia at both ends. One notable section of US 50 is the dual-span Chesapeake Bay Bridge across the Chesapeake Bay, which links the Baltimore–Washington metropolitan area with the Eastern Shore region, allowing motorists to reach Ocean City and the Delaware Beaches.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">U.S. Route 30 in Pennsylvania</span> Highway in Pennsylvania

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Pennsylvania Route 283</span> State highway in Pennsylvania, US

Pennsylvania Route 283 (PA 283), officially State Route 0300 or SR 0300 due to the presence of Interstate 283 (I-283), is a 29-mile-long (47 km) freeway in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. It connects Harrisburg to Lancaster, paralleling the old U.S. Route 230. The route follows a generally northwest–southeast direction but is signed east–west. The number was assigned based on the function the route serves as a southeastern extension of I-283, but I-283 and PA 283 are not the same roadway; the two intersect at a partial cloverleaf interchange.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">U.S. Route 6 in Pennsylvania</span> Segment of American highway

U.S. Route 6 (US 6) travels east–west near the north edge of the U.S. state of Pennsylvania from the Ohio state line near Pymatuning Reservoir east to the Mid-Delaware Bridge over the Delaware River into Port Jervis, New York. It is the longest highway segment in the commonwealth. Most of it is a two-lane rural highway, with some freeway bypasses around larger towns. Except east of Dunmore, where it is paralleled by Interstate 84 (I-84), it is the main route in its corridor. What is now I-80—the Keystone Shortway—was once planned along the US 6 corridor as a western extension of I-84. The corridor was originally the Roosevelt Highway from Erie, Pennsylvania, to Port Jervis, New York, designated Pennsylvania Route 7 (PA 7) in 1924. The PA 7 designation soon disappeared, but, as US 6 was extended and relocated, the Roosevelt Highway followed it. The Pennsylvania section of US 6 was renamed the Grand Army of the Republic Highway in 1946; this name was applied to its full transcontinental length by 1953.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">U.S. Route 202 in Pennsylvania</span> US Highway in Pennsylvania

U.S. Route 202 is a US Highway running from New Castle, Delaware, northeast to Bangor, Maine. The route runs through the southeastern part of the U.S. state of Pennsylvania, passing through the western and northern suburbs of Philadelphia in the Delaware Valley metropolitan area. US 202 serves largely as a toll-free bypass around the city, avoiding the busy traffic and congestion on Interstate 95 (I-95). It is signed north–south and follows a general southwest–northeast direction through the state, serving West Chester, King of Prussia, Bridgeport, Norristown, Montgomeryville, Doylestown, and New Hope. US 202 enters Pennsylvania from Delaware and heads north as a divided highway, where it becomes concurrent with US 322 at an intersection with US 1 in Painters Crossing. The two routes run north and become a freeway that bypasses West Chester to the east, with US 322 splitting from US 202. US 202 continues north and east along the freeway to King of Prussia, where it reverts to an at-grade divided highway following an interchange with I-76. The route becomes a one-way pair as it passes through Bridgeport and Norristown before both directions rejoin and the road continues northeast. US 202 follows an expressway-grade parkway between Montgomeryville and Doylestown prior to bypassing Doylestown to the south along a freeway. The route continues northeast as an at-grade road to New Hope, where it turns into a freeway again before it crosses the Delaware River on the New Hope–Lambertville Toll Bridge into New Jersey.
