These tunnels always told me we had actually made progress on our lllllooooonnnngg trips. I find them calming

I'm from the Pittsburgh area, and we'd go on vacation at Wildwood every summer. The tunnels were the high points of the trip out.

Pa has some really big Mtns, so back when folks really needed work, the US Gov't paid folks to build tunnels.....worked out well....FDR was a brilliant man for his time...(got lots of improvements needed to be done, got a lot of unemployed folks? Ah ha! Problem solved!)

grovermatic , I’m a conservative and my mother who was a old school democrat told me all about how they did work under the program to put walls in the river where I live in Jersey under the works program and how it helped give people work and at the same time helped the country, the problem today is people don’t like to compromise, where as I was taught to put our country first !

Yeah there’s a decent amount of evidence that FDR’s new deal wasn’t as good as it seems. He was also towing the line of becoming power hungry.

Thanks for taking us with you on this little road trip. I am pretty much permanently confined to my home so videos like this is about the only way I see new sights. Beautiful countryside.

I always watch the lights as we pass under the tunnels 😂

Post 10, 👍🏼 boy those tunnels bring back memories of when I did my Secaucus to Columbus, Ohio runs ! I really enjoy watching you travel the northeast, it brings back sights and sounds of the roads, I loved running at night and listening to “Coast to Coast AM” especially when George had guests talking about UFO’s or supernatural stuff like “Bigfoot” ! Keep up the good work !

Thanks you for writing the lengths in meters. Love from Sweden!

You can't beat coming into Pittsburgh via the Ft. Pitt Tunnel. Well, except for the part where traffic moves through it about 10 mph for several hours a day. The tunnel is awesome...the Parkway is a giant pain in the ass.

You get some really awesome pics..The view is amazing

These remind me of tunnels in Atlanta and a few where I live. "GPS Signal Lost" gave me a heart attack. I remember traveling to North Georgia for a family trip to a park but ended up in someone's house... It was terrifying. 😅 From now on, I always download the route or remember road names. Upper East Coast seems like a nice place to just take a scenic drive. 😊🧡

I just dove thru those to visit my Dad 3 weeks ago :))) Awesome area! 👍🙃

Thanks for the trip Post i have never been on the turnpike.

Something so relaxing about tunnels too me 😊

When I was a little girl, my mother always let my sisters and I sing at the top of our lungs with the windows open when we drove through tunnels. This really takes me back.

Cool stuff, man! You're in my territory! I'm glad you enjoy your history. You should check out the abandoned stretch of the turnpike by Breezewood if you're around again.

For what it's worth?, thank you!! Appreciate your content!!, especially this video. I'm a truck driver!, every time I go through the Eisenhower Tunnel (I-70 Colorado), it feels like the first time!!, every time!!!👍😎😎

Thank you for sharing this, I take this trip to my sister's house.

Once upon a time, there were several more tunnels along the Turnpike Mainline....7 in all, I think. I grew up just outside Pittsburgh, and my family would vacation every summer in Wildwood, NJ. When I was a kid, going through the tunnels was the highlight of our drive out to the Jersey Shore. I think there are 4 left in use now. Three are farther east, and one (Allegheny Mountain) is in the Laurel Highlands. Nowadays, I like to ride out to Shawnee State Park on a free day, and I'll go through it.

These tunnels are almost identical to the tunnel that crosses between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, Canada. That tunnel crosses a river, a opposed to hills or mountains. I am still stunned seeing mountains when I travel. So attractive and grand to see in person.

Great video of the tunnels in my home state. Been through them a zillion times. Here's a minor correction for you: please note that it's Tuscarora, not Tuscarola. Thanks for posting!

You’re voice has changed so much! I’m so amazed lol

I used to love going through tunnels as a kid

My buddies and I just walked through the abandoned rays hill tunnel friday. It was awesome! we tried for the sideling hill tunnel too but it was too far for us to walk

Really hope you come visit Altoona, Pa! Awesome railroad museum and history, and some pretty terrible drains and roads lol. Definitely up your alley!

You mean "Curve, Pa." don't you? I make it up there a couple times a summer. Stop at the Portage Railroad and Horseshoe Curve in the morning and early afternoon, throw a few games at Holiday Bowl, and then go watch the Curve. Always a nice day.

and in this moment, we are infinite

Heroes Tunnel, formally known as the West Rock Tunnel on the Wilbur Cross Parkway in Connecticut was once part of my almost daily commute. Damn I loved driving that highway!

Reminds me of driving to vacation in my home country of Austria. We have a lot of these tunnels sometimes stretching for multiple kilometers going through the alps.

@russs7574

Being from Austria, you could paraphrase Crocadile Dundee....."Now THAT's a tunnel."

Very interesting to see older tunnels like that. Most of the newer tunnels here in Australia have a lot more safety features like emergency lighting, exit signs, sprinklers and monitored by cctv. A crash and fire can be fatal not just to the crashed vehicles, but every other motorist in the tunnel.

@brianleeper5737

There are emergency exits with exit signs on the inner walls of the first three tunnels. The existing lighting is considered emergency lighting if it has a backup power source, which it most likely does.

Gosh this video makes me miss beautiful Pennsylvania. 🥺

I miss Pennsylvania... this was fun to watch

great video it felt like i was really in the car with you. very immersive dialogue

Those arrows in the road surface are a brilliant idea. We don't have those here in the UK.

Great video! Did you happen to check out the abandoned tunnel near Breezewood?

Imagine how bright the tunnels would be if they were cleaned!

I never thought about the lighting in tunnels and I live in PA and have been through a few.

i remembered your voice from the road unclogging videos!!

Cool!!

I really like the lighted arrows on the floors of the lanes in the first tunnel! Didn't you know you're supposed to lift your feet and hold your breath through a tunnel? Lol ... Nice little side trip at the end of my day and I didn't have to do the driving? 👍😍

Cool video, thanks. :)

Whenever I drive to my home town in Connecticut about the time I hit Pennsylvania it's 8pm, so after driving for 13 hours the lights in the tunnel helps me to wake up lol

I don’t know why, but tunnels like these give me anxiety.

Do you ever plan to offer prints of the gorgeous photos you put up at the end of some of the videos?

You cool Post, you wicked cool.

It’s like a huge culvert for traffic instead of water LOL xD

I wish you would have done the Lehigh Tunnel that's the only tunnel I ever really go through

Love from the U.K. Don't know how i got here though.

That's not a good sign when water is dripping from the roof of the tunnel!

Car Culverts are awesome.

I love running the tunnels on the PA Turnpike. I've been through Rays Hill and Sideling Hill tunnels. That makes me an antique. Please correct your text to read "Tursarora Tunnel".

That last tunnel is the one on the Parkway, between Woodbridge/New Haven and Hamden, under West Rock. Exit 59/60 area.

as kids we'd see who could hold their breath for the duration of the tunnels.. kittatiny and blue mtn were the hardest because you barely had time to catch your breath before the next began

I go through these tunnels once a year when I travel 😎

Yeah so imagine an even patcher tiled tunnel and have tiles also on the ceiling with many missing. That’s the Lehighton tunnel easily different from the tunnels you went through because one is circular and one is square

Both directions in one tunnel, just like in the old days of the PA turnpike...

Allegheny Tunnel (furthest west, not in this video) is the longest, and has the steepest approach. Blue Mountain tunnel (easternmost, third tunnel in this video) goes under the same mountain as the Lehigh Tunnel on the Turnpike Northeast Extension (I-476) over a hundred miles away. The mountain is a long diagonal, while the turnpike highways go (more-or-less) due east/west, then due north/south.

How steep are the inclines on the turnpike? Is it a gradual incline up into the mountains or a big steep climb up the mountains?

I assume you like tunnels. Tunnel like structures like drains, culvert, etc

I remember Seattle tunnels does do that

CT represent!

ive seen so many accidents on the other side of the heroes tunnel cuz of the merrits interchanges lol

Nice, Post! :)

Tuscarola Mountain tunnel: 87 seconds, 41.7 mph. Kittatinny Mountain tunnel: 58 seconds, 55.5 mph. Blue Mountain tunnel: 53 seconds, 55.8 mph. Heroes tunnel: 15 seconds, 54.5 mph.

Do these tunnels have the air ducts like the old tunnel you explored (and rode your bike in)?

I think it's stupid that they wasted money building 6 new tunnels when they could have just bored 3 off to the side of the old ones to add capacity.
