Pennsylvania Route 724 (PA 724) is a 30-mile (48 km) road in the U.S. commonwealth of Pennsylvania that runs from U.S. Route 422 (US 422) in Sinking Spring southeast to PA 23 near Phoenixville. PA 724 travels through the counties of Berks and Chester. The route runs through the southern suburbs of Reading, passing through Shillington and Kenhorst. Past the Reading area, PA 724 continues southeast parallel to the Schuylkill River, passing through or near Birdsboro, Pottstown, and Spring City. The route intersects many roads including US 222 near Shillington, PA 10 and Interstate 176 (I-176) southeast of Reading, PA 345 in Birdsboro, and PA 100 and US 422 near Pottstown.
The portion of PA 724 between Poplar Neck Road southeast of Reading and PA 23 was designated as part of PA 83 in 1927. By 1966, PA 724 was assigned to its current alignment and replaced the portion of PA 83 between the Reading area and Phoenixville. PA 724 was referenced in Hall & Oates' 1973 album Abandoned Luncheonette, with the defunct Rosedale Diner that was located along the route near Pottstown on the album cover.
