The Rise and Fall of America’s Greatest Superhighway: Pennsylvania Turnpike

America’s first superhighway was built on top of a railroad that never carried a single train. In 1940, the Pennsylvania Turnpike looked like the future—160 miles without a stoplight and seven tunnels blasted straight through the mountains. Then traffic outgrew the dream. Today, thirteen miles of that revolutionary highway sit abandoned, its tunnels dark since 1968. This is the remarkable story of the road America copied—and the pieces it simply left behind. #roadtrip #abandonedplaces #urbex
