The West Chester Bypass intersects Matlack Street at a traffic light, and then has interchanges with Westtown Road, Pennsylvania Route 3

at an intersection in the center of Bridgeport and southbound US 202 features ramps that provide access to PA 23. These ramps were intended to connect to the Schuylkill Parkway, a never-built bypass of PA 23 in Upper Merion Township. Both routes cross the Schuylkill River

.
, the route had been part of Pennsylvania Route 29
between the Delaware border and West Chester and Pennsylvania Route 52
between West Chester and the New Jersey border. U.S. Route 122 was created in 1926, connecting US 22 at Whitehouse, New Jersey
with Wilmington, Delaware
. It became part of US 202 in 1934.
U.S. Route 202 had followed a different alignment in Chester County before the limited access alignment was built. The former alignment had US 202 exiting from what was then the West Chester By-Pass onto Paoli Pike, then later overlapping US 30 in Paoli and then turning north on what later became PA 252.
was proposed that would follow the US 202 corridor. The "Piedmont Expressway" was to be 59 miles (95 km) long, and would cost approximately $146 million. It was to serve as an outer beltway around the Philadelphia area, similar to the Capital Beltway
that encircles Washington, D.C.
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation
divided the US 202 Expressway into the following eight sections:
in East Whiteland Township
to North Valley Road in Tredyffrin Township
in Chester County
, costing $175 million, and from Johnson Highway on the Norristown
/East Norriton Township
border to Pennsylvania Route 309
in Montgomeryville
in Montgomery County
, costing $130 million. Construction on both segments was expected to start in 2009. However, PennDOT has indefinitely suspended construction on both segments due to need to use money to repair structurally deficient bridges. Construction will not start until 2011 at the earliest.
to Doylestown
north of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
. The road has been at the front of discussion and controversies around the Bucks and Montgomeryville areas for almost forty years. It was originally planned as a four-lane expressway, but in 2005 the plan was changed to a two to four lane parkway after funding for the road was cut.
The parkway is planned to be four lanes from Pennsylvania Route 63
to Pennsylvania Route 463
and two lanes from PA 463 to Pennsylvania Route 611
. It will have 5 feet (1.5 m) shoulders, 12 feet (3.7 m) walking paths on each side, sound barriers, and a 40 mi/h speed limit. The planned cost for the parkway is $200 million. Construction began in November 2008 on the portion between PA 63 and PA 463, with the portion from PA 463 to the interchange with PA 611 following in January 2010. Completion of the parkway was initially expected by late 2010 with a planned opening date in early 2011. The parkway was completed by the end of 2010 between PA 63 and PA 463; this section will remain closed to traffic until the remainder of the road is complete, with the exception of a small portion near PA 463. The parkway is expected to be completed by the middle of 2012 between PA 463 and PA 611, at which point the full length of the parkway will open to traffic. Widening of US 202 between Sumneytown Pike and PA 63 to 5 lanes (4 travel lanes plus a center left-turn lane) is also underway as an adjunct to the 202 Parkway project, linking the southern end of the Parkway with the existing 4-lane highway below Sumneytown Pike. This section is expected to be completed by May 2012.

Construction began in November 2008 on the portion between PA 63 and PA 463, with the portion from PA 463 to the interchange with PA 611 following in January 2010. Completion of the parkway was initially expected by late 2010 with a planned opening date in early 2011. The parkway was completed by the end of 2010 between PA 63 and PA 463; this section will remain closed to traffic until the remainder of the road is complete, with the exception of a small portion near PA 463. The parkway is expected to be completed by the middle of 2012 between PA 463 and PA 611, at which point the full length of the parkway will open to traffic.

This section is expected to be completed by May 2012.
