When the Pennsylvania Turnpike first opened from Middlesex to Irwin in 1940, the new toll road was truly Americas Tunnel Highway. A trip from one end to the other would take a motorist through seven different tunnels: from east to west Blue Mountain, Kittatinny, Tuscarora, Sideling Hill, Rays Hill, Allegheny, and Laurel Hill. While the length of the Turnpike was built as a fourlane expressway, the tunnels could only accommodate one lane of traffic in each direction. By the late 50s, eastbound traffic backlogs became common at the Laurel Hill Tunnel, and congestion began to cause delays at other tunnels as well.
