King of Prussia, PA –GVF is pleased that Congressman Sestak was able to secure $700,000 for continued funding of the US Route 422 Schuylkill River Crossing Complex.
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, in conjunction the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission, the counties of Chester and Montgomery, as well as the adjacent municipalities, is developing two projects to remedy problems related to US 422 in the Schuylkill River crossing area.
These projects are:

• Improvements of the PA 363/US 422 Interchange with new ramps to and from US 422 west of the interchange
• widening of US 422 from US 202 through the PA 363 Interchange.

The $700,000 was passed in an omnibus package, which is the bill that funds the nation’s education, transportation and Veterans affairs agencies. "I am proud to vote for this measure that continues to focus our investments on retooling our economy, investing in education, and protecting those most vulnerable in our society," said Congressman Sestak in a press release.

GVF’s Executive Director Rob Henry agreed with the Congressman’s comments. “We are very appreciative of the Congressman’s continued support of the Route 422 River Crossing Complex project. Without this funding we would not be able to continue the work on one of the most congested highways in Southeastern PA.,” Henry said.
