Pennsylvania Route 663 (PA 663) is a 22.13-mile-long (35.61 km) state highway in Bucks and Montgomery counties in southeast Pennsylvania. Its northern terminus is at PA 309 and PA 313 in Quakertown, where it continues eastward as PA 313, and its southern terminus is at PA 100 in Pottstown. Along the way, PA 663 also passes through the town of Pennsburg. It is called John Fries Highway between Pennsburg and Quakertown. It has an interchange with Interstate 476 (I-476, the Northeast Extension of the Pennsylvania Turnpike) at exit 44 west of Quakertown. The route was assigned in 1930, and it has had several realignments since its commissioning, including two major ones.
PA 663 begins at an intersection with PA 100 in the borough of Pottstown in Montgomery County, heading east on four-lane undivided West King Street. The road passes through commercial areas and crosses the Colebrookdale Railroad and Manatawny Creek. The route becomes two-lane undivided King Street and is lined with residences. PA 663 turns north onto Charlotte Street and continues past homes, curving to the northeast. The road crosses into Upper Pottsgrove Township and runs through a mix of residential and commercial areas as North Charlotte Street. The route turns east before it curves back to the northeast. PA 663 continues through wooded areas with a few homes and enters New Hanover Township. The road runs through more rural areas with some development and passes to the east of New Hanover Airport at the Swamp Pike intersection.
