PROJECT UPDATE

Improving King of Prussia's Highway Gateways

Furthering our commitment to making KOP more vibrant and attractive, King of Prussia District is partnering with PennDOT to install and maintain another planted median on the Schuylkill Expressway. This spring, the island median beside the westbound offramp to DeKalb Pike will transform from weeds, scrub trees and garbage to a vibrant landscape with flowering perennials and ornamental bushes.
