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.

"Pennsylvania Welcomes You" sign on Interstate
70 East. Most of Interstate 70's miles in the
Keystone State run along the Pennsylvania
Turnpike, duplexed with Interstate 76.
Interstate 70 East at Exit 1 - West Alexander.
Interstate 70 East at Exit 6 - PA 231 - Claysville.
Interstate 70 East at Exit 11 - PA 221 -

Street in Washington.
Interstate 70 East at Exit 16 - Jessop Place.
Interstate 79 is 1 3/4 miles ahead.
Interstate 70 East at Exit 17 - PA 18 - Jefferson
Avenue.
Interstate 70 East approaching Exit 18 -
Interstate 79 North - Pittsburgh - 1/2 mile.

19A - U.S. 19 South - Murtland Avenue.
Interstate 70 East/Interstate 79 South at Exit

is where this day's travels across four states
ended.

Interstate 70 East/Interstate 79 South at Exit 20 -
PA 136 - Beau Street.
Interstate 70 East 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.
Interstate 70 East at Exit 25 - PA 519 - Eighty
Four/Glyde.
Interstate 70 East at Exit 27 - Dunningsville.
Interstate 70 East at Exit 31 - Kammerer.
Interstate 70 East at Exit 32A - PA 917 - Ginger
Hill.

South - Bentleyville.
Interstate 70 East at Exit 35 - PA 481 -
Monongahela/Centerville.
Interstate 70 East at Exit 37A - PA Turnpike 43
South - California. That's California, PA, not
the state. The state is over 2000 miles west of
here!
Interstate 70 East at Exit 37B - PA Turnpike 43
North - Pittsburgh.
Interstate 70 East at Exit 39 - Speers.
Interstate 70 East at Exit 40 - PA 88 -
Charlerol/Allenport. The Monongahela River runs
underneath the bridge ahead.
A closer view of the Monongahela River bridge.
One lane was closed due to construction this
particular morning.
Interstate 70 East at Exit 41 - PA 906 - Belle
Vernon/Monessen.
Interstate 70 East at Exit 42 - N. Belle Vernon.
Interstate 70 East at Exit 43 - PA 201/TO PA

Interstate 70 East at Exit 54 - Madison.
Interstate 70 East at Exit 57 - New Stanton. The
Pennsylvania Turnpike is 3/8 mile ahead.
Interstate 70 East 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 approaching U.S. 30 East -
500 feet.
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.

1A - Interstate 68/U.S. 40 West - 1/2 mile. For
