New Highway Ramps Set to Open in King of Prussia, Pa.
Byline: Jere Downs
Dec. 11--Prepare to spend less time in your car around King of Prussia.
Beginning tomorrow night, drivers who now struggle through the highway vortex known as the "pretzel weave" will encounter six new ramps where Route 422 meets Route 202 and the Schuylkill Expressway. By the Thursday morning rush, the ramps could transform commuting for hundreds of thousands of motorists who now brake and wait on the region's most congested highway interchange.
"Our Christmas present to the region is roughly 15 minutes a day," Brad Mallory, the state secretary of transportation said yesterday at a news conference at PennDot's King of Prussia regional headquarters.
Experts predict that merging from Routes 202 and 422 onto the eastbound Schuylkill Expressway (Interstate 76) will become a breeze. As a result, 202 and 422 could lose their place as perennial lead items of traffic reports.
Four ramps will have the largest impact on commuters heading north on 202 and east on 422:
Northbound 202 motorists will be able to jump onto a ramp to the Schuylkill that eliminates the current tangle of traffic at the 422 interchange. A second ramp allows drivers on 202 north access to 422 west.
