We need relief now. But PennDOT doesn't plan on starting this road until at least 2002. That means 7-8 years to completion, and that's optimistic. If it's not a plan to build a new road, PennDOT doesn't want to hear about it. PennDot's plan does not address congestion on many of the side roads and key intersections in the 202 corridor.
New Roads Bring More Cars.
Vehicle traffic on the Blue Route, the Rt. 422 Expressway and the Exton ByPass exceeded their 20 year traffic projections the day they opened. The communities affected by these new roads have been overwhelmed with uncontrollable traffic congestion and accelerated development sprawl. Local officials all point to the new roads as the culprit. They are responsible members of the community who realize that you have to take a comprehensive approach to solving traffic congestion .
