Pennsylvania Route 352 is a 19-mile (31 km) north–south route that begins at U.S. Route 13 in Chester and ends at U.S. Route 30 in Malvern. It is known as Middletown Road between Pennsylvania Route 452 and Pennsylvania Route 926,[2] with the route north of Route 926 called Chester Road.[3]

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.[5]
Now out of Chester, PA 352 heads north as New Middletown Road, overpassing the Media/Elwyn Line's western terminus, at Elwyn.[6] 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.[7]
After that last intersection, Route 352 is designated Middletown Road.[8] 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][9] 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.[9] Immediately after that, Route 3 meets up with PA 352,[10] forming a 1 block 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]
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]
Route 352 crossed Route 3 at one time but traffic was diverted 1 block east onto Route 3.
