ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS
-
A new off-ramp from eastbound U.S. 422 to Route 363 (Trooper Road)
-
A new on-ramp from Route 363 (Trooper Road) to west-bound U.S. 422.
These two additional ramps were intended to ‘complete’ the
interchange allowing drivers to move in all directions when
traveling between the state highways. This increased
movement was planned as a safety and congestion mitigation
measure. This interchange improvement is part of the
U.S. 422 Schuylkill River Crossing Complex of projects that
is designed to improve travel along U.S. 422.
