Little by little since the 1970s, the US 222 corridor has bee... Little by little since the 1970s, the US 222 corridor has been upgraded to an expressway. After a brief hiatus during the 1980s and early 1990s, construction restarted to link the Lancaster and Berks County sections in the late 1990s.Since then, construction has progressed at a fast pace. In Lehigh County, the Trexlertown Bypass opened in sections from Hamilton Boulevard to PA 100 in 2004 and from PA 100 to Hamilton Boulevard at the Interstate 78 interchange on September 28, 2007.PennDOT has released a plan to upgrade the section from Reading to Kutztown. Roundabouts would be built at Tamarack Boulevard/Genesis Drive and PA 662, the PA 73 intersection would be rebuilt and a traffic signal installed, and the roadway would be widened to four or five lanes.
