 This extension had been approved by the Federal Highway Administration in 1968 and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) had torn down 28 homes in the Somerton neighborhood in order to build the road.The Woodhaven Road extension was cancelled in the late 1970s due to funding issues and opposition from Lower Moreland Township residents who did not want to see increased congestion from the extension.In 1988, the Woodhaven Road extension resurfaced as a means to relieve traffic along Byberry Road.
