The desolate and abandoned Pennsylvania Turnpike is a 13 mile stretch of road constructed in 1940 to help the flow of automobiles through the Appalachian Mountains. Using already dynamite blasted mountain tunnels previously constructed from a never completed railroad line, the Turnpike went through a total of 7 Mountains. The closure of the Turnpike was decided when too many delays were happening as a result of the automotive industry boom, and the road closed permanently closed in 1968. Since the closure, the road had seen many purposes in both Film, and the Military. A 2009 Movie titled "The Road" directed by Viggo Mortensen, follows a father and son while they travel America in a post apocalyptic future. The military also utilized this large stretch pf road for both storage for aircrafts on the road, and vehicle storage inside the vacant tunnel system. The road was also used for training troops for Iraq in the early 2000s. Now, the overgrown road has 2 Tunnels abandoned along with it, leaving behind a very post apocalyptic environment, we will be learning the history as we travel this long forgotten road. if you enjoy the video, leave a thumbs up and subscribe for more exploring and abandoned content!
