The most famous designation of US 40. Like most 19th-century roads, there are few traces left of the original highway, but what's left is always great and usually lovingly preserved.


See, here the Youghiogheny Reservoir is lovingly presrving this original National Road bridge. Photo courtesy Scott Sullivan, who tells me that the Army Corps of Engineers constructed the reservoir for the Pittsburgh area in 1940-41 due to the 1936 floods. Here a very low tide combines with a drought to uncover a substantial portion of the bridge; don't expect to see anything there normally unless you're a professional diver or a scuba fan.


Another special desgination for US 40, and it even gets extensions! This is EB.
