Daily News | Everyone knows the ‘Blue Route.’ But what about the other colors?
for Philly’s suburban highway connection: the Blue Route , the Green Route , and the Red Route .The Green Route would have built the highway to wrap around just west of Media, said Brad Rudolph, a PennDot spokesperson., the Green Route would have diverged west from the current Blue Route in Radnor and rejoined right before the highway ended at the I-95 interchange.
The Red Route, also known as the Yellow Route, would have taken largely the same path as the Blue Route but extend slightly east starting in Marple and then run parallel to the current path. While the two colors are often used interchangeably, they refer to two different proposals.
He said the land that the Green Route passed through at the time was not as developed as it is today, making it less expensive to build but less appealing to drivers.
