between Greensburg and McConnellsburg
No, scratch that, US 30.

EB past the ugly, old, and pretty, through Jennerstown to the US 219 freeway. I have more photos of these same windmills on that page.


At the top of Lookout Point on Mt. Ararat, 2,464 feet high in the Allegheny Mountains. Until 2001 this had a very famous hotel in the shape of a ship, even though the structure had been abandoned in the years since the Lincoln Highway was bypassed by the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Unfortunately, it burned that year, so while the views are more unobstructed now, a legendary landmark is gone.


Down the hill so long it requires a second pullout, past some old shields at the turnoff for the original Lincoln Highway through Bedford, and over an hour after the last one, here's another amazingly ugly shield.


Around Everett with original button copy; Business US 30 (also known as "TO 26 SOUTH" or just plain "SOUTH 26") is the original Lincoln Highway alignment. The one sign without button copy is still wrong because it uses a regular shield instead of a BGS-ready cutout.


The eastern end of Business US 30, then turning onto US 30 WB. It's rare to have a distance sign on one highway for destinations on another highway.


An original Lincoln Highway tollhouse - no, wait, predating that road to the original turnpike in central PA, courtesy Scott Sullivan.


Eastbound into Breezewood, where I-70 joins the Turnpike but only after multiplexing with US 30. It's not the only time an Interstate highway has traffic signals in the middle - I-78 has them on its multiplex with NJ 139.


The extra green space appears to be for an arrow that just isn't there - it's actually a separate plate, which you'll see if you click for closeup. You'll also see a Heritage Route marker. This is one of those newer state-name shields, westbound.


Westbound into the misery that is Breezewood, with way too many business on the side of an Interstate. Really, just build the direct connection, and let the KFC, McDonald's, Subway, Gift Shop, Gateway, et al. suffer. At least there are some state name shields.


Breezewood Rd. NB, just west of the mess, and look, an arrow in that green space, just like I said. No green "TO", though.


Breezewood doesn't look any better eastbound, especially when you consider that the last photo is on the US 30/I-70 duplex, and US 30 is winning.


Looking a little better, or at least more unique, some Pennsylvania hill signage, eastbound. Those runaway truck ramps are as close to each other as they look. I guess if one is taken, the next one is open.
