Blue Route, Exton Bypass and Brandywine Valley Scenic Byway are 3 of 7 signed byways within 30 miles of Northwest Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Understand
Northwest Philadelphia can be divided into two sections - west and east, which could be called the "Ridge Avenue Corridor" (Roxborough, Manayunk, Wissahickon, and East Falls) and the "Germantown Avenue Corridor" (Germantown, Mount Airy, and Chestnut Hill). These two sections are separated physically by the Wissahickon Creek, with only a few bridges passing in between. East Falls, though along the Ridge Ave. Corridor, is only connected to Manayunk by Ridge Ave and Henry Ave, and is much more connected to Germantown.
The same roads run past King of Prussia, where they are ranked and described in full.
