Driving from Germantown in Philadelphia to Conshohocken, Pennsylvania

[@williammcfadden2869]

This trip begins in the Germantown neighborhood which is northwest of Center City Philadelphia. Quite a few of the large older homes in this area, such as those seen in the early part of the video have been converted and sub-divided into apartments over the past 50 or 60 years. The trip loops around and merges onto the Roosevelt Expressway (US 1) southbound and then the Schuylkill Expressway (I-76) headed westbound. In the area seen here the Schuylkill Expressway was built on a narrow strip of land between the river to the right and the hillside to the left back in the early 1950s. There was not space to add a third lane going inbound and outbound and the result is frequent slow traffic. The trip then exits at Conshohocken and crosses back over the Schuylkill River and ends at the foot of the hill on Fayette Street. There has been quite a bit of construction of office buildings, and residential buildings in Conshohocken and West Conshohocken in recent years, which is an extension of the office and retail cluster in King Of Prussia, approximately 6 miles away. This trip was in Philadelphia and Montgomery Counties.
