Pennsylvania Route 452 (PA 452) is a state highway in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. The route runs from U.S. Route 13 (US 13) in Marcus Hook north to PA 352 in Lima. The route runs through suburban areas, passing through Linwood and Aston Township. PA 452 intersects Interstate 95 (I-95) and US 322 in Upper Chichester Township and US 1 in Lima. PA 452 was first designated by 1928 between its current termini. A portion of the route in Aston Township was realigned by 1950.
PA 452 begins at an intersection with US 13 in the borough of Marcus Hook in Delaware County, heading north-northwest on two-lane undivided Market Street. South of this intersection, Market Street continues as an unnumbered road toward the Delaware River. From US 13, the route passes businesses before coming to a bridge over Amtrak's Northeast Corridor near the Marcus Hook station serving SEPTA's Wilmington/Newark Line. Past this bridge, the road enters Lower Chichester Township, passing a mix of homes and businesses before heading into residential areas in the community of Linwood. Upon crossing Laughead Avenue, PA 452 heads into Upper Chichester Township and runs north past more homes to the west, widening into a four-lane divided highway as it comes to an interchange with I-95. Past this interchange, the route heads into commercial areas, narrowing back into a two-lane undivided road and coming to a bridge over CSX's Philadelphia Subdivision. A short distance further north, the road comes to an interchange with US 322.
