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
. The area under review is indicated on the
map as
