 Construction was halted after PennDOT ran out of funds to construct the road.The short freeway stub of the Schuylkill Parkway that was built became known as "The Road to Nowhere".In 2002, the Schuylkill Parkway was incorporated into new plans to build a bypass of PA 23 in Upper Merion Township, this time as a surface road that would connect and improve existing roads.
