 In 2010, the project was shelved after PennDOT determined it needed the money to repair structurally deficient bridges.Plans were made in the late 1960s to build the Schuylkill Parkway, a freeway bypass of PA 23 between US 422 and US 202 in Upper Merion Township.In 1972, overhead traffic signals were installed and a portion of the road was built west from US 202 and PA 23 in Bridgeport.
