The current combinations of improvements under consideration by PennDOT for the I-95/US 322 interchange and the interchange of Bethel Road with US 322 are described and illustrated below.

Loop Ramp Combinations with I-95 Shift to the East
All four combinations show I-95 being shifted to the east to minimize impacts to private properties including those located in the Highland Gardens Historic District. All four combinations are based on building a loop ramp at the interchange. Combinations 1A and 3A offer a loop ramp but neither provides direct access between Highland Avenue and I-95. 3E-1 and 3E-2 provide the direct connection to Highland Avenue. The difference between the two options is that 3E-2 proposes a new ramp connecting I-95 North to US 322 West and 3E-1 does not. Combinations 3E-1 and 3E-2 each accommodate Option 5 of the proposed improvement to the US322/Bethel Road interchange.

PennDOT recommends carrying forward combinations 3E-1 and 3E-2 for further engineering.

Bethel Road Options
Five improvement options were developed specifically for the US 322/Bethel Road Interchange. CSX is the major property owner in the area and it is important that its entryway and facility are not negatively affected by the project. Bethel Road Option 5 avoids CSX property, improves the interchange, and maximizes safety. Option 5 maintains current access from US 322 East to Bethel Road.
