DELAWARE TRIP
Interstate 70 Pennsylvania
Interstate 70 runs from Interstate 15 near Cove Fort, Utah, to a Park & Ride lot just east of Interstate 695 in Baltimore, Maryland. I drove Interstate 70 from St. Louis to Baltimore during Day Two, Day Three, and Day Four of the Delaware Trip.

approaching Exit 21 - Interstate 79 South - Morgantown - 1 1/2 miles. (I apologize in advance-several pictures from this day are obscured due to the sun angle on an actually clean dashboard!) |

Interstate 70
East/Interstate 79 South approaching their split in one mile. |
![]() |
Interstate 79 South
also heads towards Waynesburg, and this sign about 1/4 mile prior to the interchange informs motorists about that. |
![]() |
Of course, when I
got to the actual exit, I was in the process of passing a semi, and that plus the sun glare equaled a terrible picture. But this is where Exit 21 for Interstate 79 South is. |

at unmarked Exit 58 - Interstate 70/76/Pennsylvania Turnpike - Pittsburgh/Harrisburg. The road continues to U.S. 119 and PA Turnpike 66. |
![]() |
The toll plaza at
the New Stanton interchange of the Pennsylvania Turnpike. For those wanting to stay on Interstate 70, it is $3.60 during the turnpike segment, between here (mile marker 75) and Breezewood (mile marker 161). |
![]() |
Interstate 70 East
(actually on the Pennsylvania Turnpike Exit 75 on-ramp at this point) splits into Interstate 70/76 East and Interstate 76 West. An older pre-interstate sign is visible just to the right of the blue EzPass information sign. The sign says "Harrisburg and East" and "Ohio and West." |
![]() |
Since exits are
sparse on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, I took pictures of the approach signage for each exit there was during my time on it. This is Interstate 70/76 East approaching Exit 9/91 - PA 31/711 - Ligonier/Uniontown - 2 miles. This is also known as the Donegal interchange. |
![]() |
Interstate 70/76
East approaching Exit 9/91 - 1 mile. The first number is the interchange number (sequentially-based) and the second number is the Interstate 76 milepost. |
![]() |
Due to construction
in the area, the main BGS for Exit 9/91 was taken down, so this temporary sign serves as the exit sign. |
![]() |
Interstate 70/76
East approaching Exit 10/110 - U.S. 219 - Somerset/Johnstown - 2 miles. |
![]() |
Interstate 70/76
East approaching Exit 10/110 - 1 mile. Snow left over from a storm a week before remained on parts of the scenery. |
![]() |
Interstate 70/76
East at Exit 10/110 - U.S. 219 - Somerset/Johnstown. There isn't another interchange for 36 miles at Interstate 99/U.S. 220 in Bedford. The long interchange-less stretch of highway, however, is much more scenic than the 34 miles between Exit 92 and Exit 127 on the Kansas Turnpike. |
![]() |
Interstate 70/76
East at the Somerset Service Plaza. The Pennsylvania Turnpike's service plazas put Oklahoma's and Kansas' to shame. |
![]() |
Interstate 70/76
East as it prepares to enter the Allegheny Tunnel. |
![]() |
A view inside the
second tunnel I had drove through in the last 24 hours after only driving through one tunnel my whole driving life before this trip. |
![]() |
The light at the
end of the Allegheny Tunnel. And back to putting the shades on, if I had any, that is! |
![]() |
Interstate 70/76
East approaching Exit 11/146 - Interstate 99/U.S. 220 - Bedford/Altoona - 2 miles. Interstate 99 gives roadgeeks heartburn, as it is west of Interstate 81, and totally violates the interstate numbering system! |
![]() |
Interstate 70/76
East approaching Exit 11/146 - 1 mile. Interstate 99 is the only interstate to have its number signed into law. |
![]() |
Interstate 70/76
East at Exit 11/146 - Interstate 99/U.S. 220 - Bedford/Altoona. The actual exit ramp doesn't begin for another 1/4 mile. |
![]() |
Gore point signage
at Exit 11/146. Notice that only the old Exit 11 numbering is on the sign. |
![]() |
Interstate 70/76
East approaching Exit 12/161 - U.S. 30/To Interstate 70 East - Baltimore/ Washington D.C. - 2 miles. This is the infamous Breezewood interchange, where one must go on U.S. 30 for a few blocks before getting back on an Interstate-quality highway. |
![]() |
Interstate 70/76
East approaching Exit 12/161 - 1 1/2 miles. |
![]() |
For some reason,
the "U.S. 30 TO" part of this approach sign is greened out. Does this mean that we finally have a full freeway-to-freeway interchange here? Of course not! |
![]() |
Interstate 70/76
East at unmarked Exit 12/161 - U.S. 30 TO Interstate 70 East - Breezewood/ Baltimore. |
![]() |
Gore point signage
at Exit 12. Notice the arrow pointing towards Interstate 70 East, and the solo Interstate 76 East shield on the turnpike. |
![]() |
Interstate 70 East
at the Breezewood toll plaza. Interstate 70 runs along an old stretch of the Pennsylvania Turnpike for about a mile before merging onto U.S. 30. |
![]() |
Interstate 70
East/To U.S. 30 signage on Interstate 70 East just past the toll plaza. The speed limit is 50 on this former stretch of turnpike. |
![]() |
Interstate 70 East
approaching U.S. 30 East - Chambersburg/Gettysburg - 3/4 mile, and U.S. 30 West/TO East Interstate 70 - Breezewood/ Baltimore - 1 mile. The overpasses are Interstate 70's lanes crossing over Interstate 70. |
![]() |
Although hard to
see, these Interstate 70 East and TO U.S. 30 shields look like they've been through a few years of wear and tear. |
![]() |
Interstate 70 East
approaching U.S. 30 East - 1/4 mile, and U.S. 30 West/To Interstate 70 East - 1/2 mile. |

Interstate 70 East
at U.S. 30 East - Chambersburg/Gettysburg. |
![]() |
Interstate 70
East/U.S. 30 West at Interstate 70 West/Interstate 76 - Turnpike. Now we are officially on the infamous Breezewood section of Interstate 70. |
![]() |
Interstate 70
East/U.S. 30 West in Breezewood. If it were not for this section of interstate running through, Breezewood wouldn't have all the motels and restaurants that it has. |
![]() |
After 1/2 mile of
going 35 mph, Interstate 70 turns off U.S. 30 and becomes a freeway once again. |
![]() |
This mileage sign
on Interstate 70 East is just south of the Breezewood segment. Yet another really old sign. |
![]() |
Interstate 70 East
as it prepares to go underneath the Pennsylvania Turnpike. The next exit is for South Breezewood. |
![]() |
Interstate 70 East
at Exit 149 - South Breezewood. |
![]() |
Gore point at Exit
149 for South Breezewood. The Maryland State Line is now about 23 miles away. Interstate 70 is actually going in a north- south direction between Breezewood and Interstate 68, which is just past the state line. |
![]() |
The sun glare was
especially bad on this stretch, as seen here. This is Interstate 70 East at Exit 163 - PA 731 South - Amaranth. |
![]() |
Interstate 70 East
at Exit 168 - U.S. 522 North - Warfordsburg. |
![]() |
Although Interstate
68 does not enter Pennsylvania, all the approach signage of it on Interstate 70 East is in the Keystone State. Interstate 68 is two miles away from this point. |
![]() |
Interstate 70 East
approaching Maryland Exit 1A - Interstate 68/U.S. 40 West - 1/2 mile. For photos of the exit, please go to the Interstate 70 Maryland page. |
