This article seems more like something you'd find in a magazine talking about a highway. Lines such as "drivers can get off at XYZ exit" shouldn't be in the article. It also seems like it was written as someone was literally driving down the highway at the time and really needs to be more organized. I fixed the Infoxbox, but the article itself needs more touchup. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Crashintome4196 ( talk • contribs) 23:41, 30 October 2006 (EST).
This article isn't that bad, but IMO it could use some cleanup. The Route Description is pretty rambling, rather subjective at parts, it goes off on some unnecessary tangents (like the network affiliations of the TV stations carried by the Roxborough antenna farm!) and intermixes history that would better belong in the History section. The History section also has the potential to be beefed up big time, the Schuylkill's got a pretty storied history. Let's work towards getting all Philly-area highways to GA or better!

I see in the Conshohocken exit picture that the highway once used a different exit number system. Perhaps these should be included in the exit table: ELG has a provision for old exit numbers. — Scott5114 ↗ 20:28, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
This is a great article becuase it is well written, introduces the topic, has a well described history, and follows the rest of the Good Article criteria. -- J-A10 T · C 20:12, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
This highway is so legendary for being dangerous its known as the "You'll Kill Expressway" in Boston. If a Boston driver thinks a road is dangerous that is saying something. There should be more material than just the one sentence in this article spelling out just how dangerous the thing is. John Chamberlain ( talk) 05:01, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
I was driving on the Schuylkill westbound last night and noticed still-covered signs for a new exit 329. The exit 329 placard was visible but the rest of the sign was covered. This appears to be a westbound-only interchange, located between Gulph Mills and route 202. Does anyone have any information (ideally with sources) on this new interchange? My searches are coming up empty. -- Clubjuggle T/ C 13:23, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
There are two major problems with this article:
I will leave this open for a week before demoting. I am happy to leave it open for longer if work is actively taking place. -- Rs chen 7754 04:17, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
"PA 43" on wikipedia takes us to Mon-Fayette Expressway in western Pa., but I have inserted a cross reference to that route number being used previously on the Schuylkill Expressway. See that article's talk page, too. Can someone insert a reference to Schuylkill Expressway being PA 43? (Yes, it was later signed as I-80S, and now as I-76.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.20 ( talk) 19:13, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
Of course it was built to contemporary standards, in the sense of meaning (1) of Wictionary, "from the same time period." It was built to the standards of the time period when it was built. If the point is that it was not built to third-millenium standards, "contemporary" is not the correct word. 72.94.96.167 ( talk) 23:07, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
