These routes provide convenient access to Philadelphia and the New Jersey/New York area. A second major interstate route, which can be accessed via the Pennsylvania Turnpike, is the “Blue Route,” (I-476), which provides access to the Philadelphia International Airport, Northern Delaware, and the Baltimore/Washington area via I-95.
Regional transportation routes include U.S. Routes 202 and 422, which provide access to locations throughout southeastern Pennsylvania.
