 An extension of the Warren Street Bypass from US 222 to Pricetown Road was proposed in 1962 . Two routes for the extension were proposed : one following a more southerly route as it does today and another following a more northerly route along Spring Valley Road , passing near the Bernhart Reservoir . The extension of the bypass was intended to provide access to a growing industrial park . In 1966 , plans were made to make the portion of the Warren Street Bypass through the Glenside neighborhood of Reading limited @-@ access by eliminating at @-@ grade intersections with local streets , resulting in the streets coming to a dead end at the bypass . The more southerly route for the Warren Street Bypass extension between US 222 and Pricetown Road was selected by 1969 . On November 15 , 1975 , the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials ( AASHTO ) approved for US 222 to be routed to bypass Reading , with the route following the Warren Street Bypass between US 422 in Wyomissing and Allentown Pike . In 1976 , construction began on the extension of the Warren Street Bypass between US 222 and Pricetown Road . The portion of the Warren Street Bypass between Spring Valley Road and Pricetown Road was completed in July 1979 while the portion between 11th Street and Spring Valley Road was completed in December 1979 . In 1980 , the remainder of the Warren Street Bypass extension between US 222 and 11th Street was completed .
