[edit] Delaware County

A few blocks from the Delaware River, PA 352 begins at an intersection with U.S. Route 13. Route 352 is closely parallel to Route 320 while going north out of Chester.[4] It is designated the Avenue of the States in the city, however it becomes Edgmont Avenue in Upland.[6]

Now out of Chester, PA 352 heads north as New Middletown Road, overpassing the R3 line's western terminus, at Elwyn.[7] After that, Route 352 interchanges an at-grade portion of U.S. Route 1, then makes a sharp turn to the left and intersects the northern terminus of Pennsylvania Route 452.[8]

After that last intersection, Route 352 is designated Middletown Road.[9] In Middletown, Edgmont, and Thornbury Townships, PA 352 maintains a northwest–southeast course as it traverses the township until intersecting with Pennsylvania Route 926.[2] Route 926 serves as the county line for Delaware and Chester counties,[4][5] for which at this point Newton Road becomes Chester Road.[3]

Route 352 enters Chester County in Westtown Township after an intersection with Route 926.[5] Immediately after that, Route 3 meets up with PA 352,[10] forming a 1 mile concurrency.[1]

After leaving PA 3, Route 352 is on its signed north–south course again, not having any major intersections. It is still designated Chester Road until intersecting a side street called King Road, where it becomes Sproul Road.[11] It then continues northward for a short while, crosses over two railroads, and ends at U.S. Route 30.[12]

[edit] History

In 1911, when the Sproul Road Bill was passed, Legislative Route 132 was designated on current PA 352 between Chester and Media, while LR 179 got the part between Media and East Goshen Township.[13]
