At this point, US 202/US 322 exit and head southeast along four-lane divided Wilmington Pike, passing through suburban areas. The road comes to a jughandle-controlled intersection at Stetson Middle School Drive/Skiles Boulevard before it crosses PA 926 in the community of Darlington Corners.
US 202/US 322 crosses into Delaware County and continues southeast along Wilmington-West Chester Pike, coming to an intersection with Oakland Road that has an eastbound jughandle. The road comes to the community of Painters Crossing and reaches an intersection with US 1, where US 322 splits from US 202 by heading east along with US 1 on four-lane divided Baltimore Pike. The road continues east to the community of Concordville, where US 322 splits from US 1 by heading southeast along Conchester Highway, a four-lane divided highway. The route runs through suburban areas, passing over Smithbridge Road and narrowing to a two-lane undivided road before coming to an interchange with the northern terminus of PA 261. The road continues east and passes over Chichester Avenue before it widens into a four-lane divided highway and reaches an interchange with PA 452. Farther east, US 322 passes over CSX's Philadelphia Subdivision railroad line and comes to an interchange with Bethel Road. The route passes north of CSX's Twin Oaks Rail Yard, an automotive unloading facility, before it comes to an interchange with I-95 and Highland Avenue. At this interchange, US 322 merges onto northbound I-95; this interchange consists of full access between US 322 and Highland Avenue and partial access between US 322 and I-95. At this point, US 322 joins I-95 on the Delaware Expressway, a seven-lane freeway with four northbound lanes and three southbound lanes and enters the city of Chester, passing through urban areas. The freeway leaves the city limits and US 322 splits from I-95 to head southeast on a freeway at a directional T interchange; this interchange includes a ramp from westbound US 322 to Concord Road. The route crosses back into Chester as it follows a five-lane freeway with three eastbound lanes and two westbound lanes that is maintained by the Delaware River Port Authority. The freeway comes to a westbound exit and eastbound entrance with US 13 Bus. before it passes over Amtrak's Northeast Corridor railroad line and reaches an eastbound exit and westbound entrance with US 13/PA 291. At this point, US 322 heads onto the Commodore Barry Bridge, passing over Conrail Shared Assets Operations' Chester Industrial Track line and running to the northeast of Subaru Park, the home stadium of the Philadelphia Union of Major League Soccer, before it crosses the Delaware River into New Jersey.
History
The earliest predecessors of US 322 were several turnpikes. The Downingstown, Ephrata, and Harrisburg Turnpike was chartered in 1803, forming the bulk of the highway east of Harrisburg. A brief section from Philipsburg to West Decatur was part of the Philipsburg and Susquehanna Turnpike, with a western terminus at Curwensville. From there to Meadville, the highway was the Susquehanna and Waterford Turnpike, which extended north to Waterford. The latter two turnpikes were part of the cross-state route known as the Northumberland and Waterford Turnpike.
These highways were mostly incorporated into the Lakes-to-Sea Highway, which went from Erie east to Atlantic City, New Jersey. This route deviated from the early turnpikes in central Pennsylvania, by swinging south from DuBois along US 219 to service Grampian, then north on PA 879 to service Clearfield. From Philipsburg, it followed PA 53 to Osceola Mills and State Street and PA 350 to Bald Eagle. It then went south along South Bald Eagle Road (at the time also US 220) to Tyrone, then PA 453 and PA 45 meet US 22 at Water Street. The two highways bore a concurrency to Harrisburg. At the time of their marking, both highways swung north from Mill Creek, following PA 655 to Reedsville, then south to Lewistown, where they resumed the modern alignment. From West Chester, the highway followed PA 3 to Philadelphia. This highway was numbered as PA 5 in the earliest numbering system in the state.
US 322, in its original inception, followed PA 5 from Water Street to Meadville, where it continued west on its modern alignment. Both US 22 and US 322 followed their modern alignments east of Lewistown. In 1928, concurrencies with this highway and its PA 5 moniker were deleted in favor of the national number. In 1937, US 322 was extended to and through New Jersey, replacing what remained of PA 5 between Harrisburg and West Chester, and PA 61 to Chester.
In 1957, US 322 was routed onto a limited-access bypass of West Chester to the north and east. As a result, US 322 Bus. replaced the US 322 designation through West Chester. In 1970, the highway was rerouted to bypass Curwensville to the north, replacing a section of PA 410.
In December 2007, construction to convert the section of US 22/US 322 through the Lewistown Narrows from a two-lane highway to a divided, limited-access four-lane highway was completed.
To decrease congestion and improve safety, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) began a project in 2014 to reconstruct US 322 from the Centre/Mifflin county line to the route's interchange with PA 144, at a cost of about $93 million. On March 30, 2018, the Sand Mountain Road interchange opened, replacing the at-grade intersection. The bulk of the cost of the project is related to an extension of the four-lane portion of US 322 through Potters Mills Gap and a new interchange with PA 144, which opened on October 10, 2020. The State College Area Connector project will upgrade US 322 to four lanes between the eastern terminus of the Mount Nittany Expressway and the PA 144 interchange. On August 9, 2023, three build alternatives for the project were released, with proposals to construct along the PA 144 corridor and upgrade the existing alignment of US 322 eliminated. On January 19, 2024, it was announced that plans to build a connector road to PA 45 were dropped.
The section of US 322 along Conchester Highway between US 1 in Concordville and I-95 in Chester opened in 1954. PennDOT had plans since 1979 to widen the stretch of US 322 along Conchester Highway from a two-lane road to a four-lane road. The stretch of road saw a large number of accidents and fatalities, leading to the nickname "Killer Conchester". Construction on the project to widen the Conchester Highway section of US 322 began on April 28, 2017, with Governor Tom Wolf, PennDOT secretary Leslie Richards, and other state and local officials in attendance for a groundbreaking ceremony. Construction on the first phase of the widening between US 1 and Clayton Park Drive started in 2017 and was completed in December 2020. Plans to widen US 322 between Clayton Park Drive and east of Chelsea Parkway/Bethel Avenue are in the final design phase, with construction to begin in 2025. Plans to reconstruct the four-lane section of US 322 from Cherry Tree Road/Bethel Avenue to east of PA 452 are in the final design phase, with construction to begin in 2024. Plans to replace the bridge over the CSX tracks and Bethel Road along with improving the Bethel Road interchange are in the final design phase, with construction to begin in 2024.
In 2019, construction began to convert the interchange with US 222 near Ephrata into a diverging diamond interchange. The diverging diamond interchange, which cost $10.9 million and received federal funding, opened on May 17, 2021, one year ahead of schedule.
