The Warren Street Bypass is a limited access road in Berks County, Pennsylvania, carrying Pennsylvania Route 12, U.S. Route 222, and U.S. Route 422. The eastern terminus of the bypass is at Hyde Park, where the road returns to grade level as PA 12. The western terminus is at the US 222/US 422 split in Wyomissing. The bypass provides access to FirstEnergy Stadium via Centre Avenue.
The Warren Street Bypass begins at the US 222/US 422 merge in Wyomissing. A few miles northeast of the US 422 interchange, the bypass meets State Hill Road and Paper Mill Road, the latter providing access to Berkshire Mall. About a half a mile east of Paper Mill Road, US 222 and US 422 both leave the Warren Street Bypass. Here, US 222 continues north toward Allentown while US 422 doubles back east, reentering Reading along the Benjamin Franklin Highway. The right-of-way of the US 222/US 422 freeway continues straight through the interchange, becoming PA 12 north of the exit.
Now carrying PA 12, the bypass interchanges with Pennsylvania Route 183 about 1 mile (1.6 km) east of the US 222/US 422 junction. East of PA 183, the bypass meets Pennsylvania Route 61, Centre Avenue, a north–south state highway originating in downtown Reading and providing access to FirstEnergy Stadium, home of the Philadelphia Phillies' AA Minor league affiliate, the Reading Phillies. East of PA 61, the bypass meets U.S. Route 222 Business north of Reading. As implied by its business banner, US 222 Business reconnects with US 222 roughly four miles north of the PA 12/US 222 Business interchange.
