context_page_description: Pennsylvania Route 363 is a state highway located in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania that is a spur of PA 63. The route runs 11.86 mi from an interchange with U.S. Route 422 near Valley Forge northeast to PA 63 in Lansdale. The route runs through suburban areas of central Montgomery County, passing some farmland in Worcester Township. PA 363 is designated along Trooper Road, Ridge Pike, Park Avenue, and Valley Forge Road. In the community of Worcester, the route crosses PA 73.
  PA 363 was first designated by the Pennsylvania Department of Highways in 1928 to run from PA 23 in Port Kennedy to PA 63 in Lansdale. Between the 1940s and the 1960s, PA 363 extended west on present-day PA 23 to end near Valley Forge. In the 1960s, the route was redirected to follow Gulph Road to US 202 in King of Prussia. By 1989, the south end of PA 363 was relocated to the US 422 interchange. The Betzwood Bridge, which had carried PA 363 over the Schuylkill River, was removed in the 1990s. The partial interchange with US 422 became a full interchange in 2015.
context_section_description: PA 363 begins at an interchange with US 422 (Pottstown Expressway) near Valley Forge National Historical Park in Montgomery County. From this point, the route heads northeast on four-lane divided Trooper Road, forming the border between Lower Providence Township to the northwest and West Norriton Township to the southeast as it runs through the community of Audubon. The road passes a business park to the northwest and residential neighborhoods to the southeast as it narrows into an undivided road and enters areas of shopping centers. Here, the route becomes a divided highway again and intersects Egypt Road. 
  PA 363 continues as a two-lane undivided road past more homes before it reaches the Ridge Pike/West Main Street intersection. At this point, the route turns northwest onto Ridge Pike and fully enters Lower Providence Township, passing businesses as a three-lane road with a center left-turn lane. PA 363 turns northeast onto two-lane Park Avenue in Trooper and runs through more residential areas. A short distance after entering Worcester Township, the route comes to the community of Fairview Village and crosses Germantown Pike in a commercial area. 
  Upon crossing Germantown Pike, PA 363 becomes known as Valley Forge Road and continues into agricultural areas with scattered residential neighborhoods. The amount of development increases until the road comes to the junction with PA 73 (Skippack Pike) in the community of Worcester. After the PA 73 intersection, PA 363 continues past areas of housing developments to the west and farmland to the east before it reaches Morris Road. At this point, the route enters the North Penn Valley region and becomes the border between Towamencin Township to the northwest and Upper Gwynedd Township to the southeast, crossing under Interstate 476 (Pennsylvania Turnpike Northeast Extension) along this stretch.
  The road passes through residential neighborhoods before entering commercial areas and crossing Sumneytown Pike. PA 363 heads to the southeast of North Penn High School and runs past a mix of homes and businesses as it gains a center left-turn lane on the approach to the Allentown Road junction. A short distance later, the route enters the borough of Lansdale and passes homes as a two-lane road. PA 363 reaches its northern terminus at an intersection with PA 63 in Lansdale.
