[edit] Route description

Communities[2]

PA Route 363 begins at U.S. Route 422 (Pottstown Freeway) near Valley Forge National Historic Park. It is known as Trooper Road until it turns onto Ridge Road. After a mile, PA 363 turns right onto Valley Forge Road, due to its connectivity with the park (though the road no longer leads directly to it). It enters Worcester Township and intersects the highly-traveled Germantown Pike, which leads straight into Philadelphia. In the village of Worcester, PA 363 intersects Pennsylvania Route 73 (Skippack Pike). PA 363 then crosses Pennsylvania Turnpike Northeast Extension/I-476. In Upper Gwynedd Township, PA 363 intersects Sumneytown Pike, another heavily traveled route in Montgomery County. PA 363 terminates at Pennsylvania Route 63 in Lansdale, Pennsylvania.
