The Abandoned Pennsylvania Turnpike in Highways Bridges Resource Directory

    

This is an online tour of a 12mile stretch of the Pennsylvania Turnpike that has been abandoned. When the Turnpike opened in 1940 the four lanes of traffic narrowed to two lanes at each of seven tunnels. By the 1960s, 4 of the 7 tunnels on the original turnpike got a second tube built to accommodate heavier traffic. The other three were bypassed and abandoned.
