All photos are on the eastern section of I-70, from Breezewood to Hancock, MD. I rant about Breezewood on the US 30 and I-76 pages, both linked at the bottom of this page, so I'll spare you here.


All the eastbound button copy, including one wannabe that replaces word for word, right down the centered exit tab, the original button copy sign.


A pair of old signs heading westbound from Maryland.


The rest of the westbound signs, ending with another one that's a direct button copy replacement. Notice that US 30 is spelled out on the ground-mounted signs, but original peeling shields are present on the one overhead gantry.


Having already clinched I-70, I exited here at Exit 149, and followed the old way into town, Breezewood Road. Right here, it passes via an original underpass underneath the original Pennsylvania Turnpike, which is now the mainline of I-70 and also Exit 161 from the modern Turnpike. The original Exit 161 then branches off of this road, and all traffic is seamlessly diverted onto it. Everything from there east, through two tunnels and back to the first photo on the I-76 page, has been abandoned and part has been converted to a trail. Photos of that trail are on the other side of this handy link, over 240 of them.


US 30 EB/I-70 WB. Not only is Breezewood one of the only locations with traffic signals and driveways on an Interstate, it also has a wrong-way multiplex. Top that, Holland Tunnel!


I-70 travelers don't find the welcome sign until they're nearly 25 miles in the state. Pennsylvania hopes they'll continue through Breezewood and not use US 30 - you're not welcome if you don't pay the toll!
