For about the first 60 years of its existence, the east end of the eastern segment of US 422 was at various points around Philadelphia. From 1927 to 1931, US 422 made it only as far west as Reading, but then US 422 was extended to an endpoint in Harrisburg.
In 1984 the east end of US 422 was truncated to its current location in King of Prussia, at its junction with US 202. The last eastbound trailblazer was posted just before the Pennsylvania Turnpike underpass:
