PA 772 EB as it widens into a four-lane divided section that is currently completely useless, an example of what I have always felt to be posturing. People leaving the highway see a four-lane divided highway, and think they've come to something important. Then, the facade is revealed, cover thrown off, and the unwary traveler is on a winding two-lane road. Or, traffic flows more smoothly through the interchange this way. Doesn't matter right now, because there's no freeway underneath. The first photo is more recent than the second photo, and shows that a left-turn lane has been added into a driveway, with the keep-right sign also moved to the right side of the median.


Looking west along the Goat Path in the direction of the previous page of photos.


Starting with the Goat Path EB offramp, which is paved from just beyond the fence on up to PA 772. The last two photos look at the ramp splits to 772 EB and WB, respectively.


Next to the WB onramp, where I was parked and so was one Rhode Islander. It's a tough sell in this area, what with the lack of cross traffic that needs to buy a car, especially a Rhode Island car.


Across PA 772 (following my shadow) to the Goat Path WB offramp, which is graded out of the grass in the fourth photo onto a PennDOT access road (which I will cover shortly - no peeking), then out onto the original 1960's concrete.


The perspective of traffic exiting into the sunset.


As you can see in the first photo, PA 772 is popular with the Amish horses, and apparently this ghost interchange is also popular with parked cars. I didn't stay to find out why there are practically more cars parked here than driving on 772.


Now underneath PA 772 courtesy Scott Colbert, there appears to be a... portable toilet? What could it mean?


PennDOT decided that a fully paved but unused underpass, with easy access from fully paved but unused ramps, might have some redeeming use. All sorts of heavy equipment can be stored under here...


...or signs for nearby projects! Again, courtesy Scott Colbert.


On the east side of the underpass is a salt dome for winter storm operations. I'm sure this is such a popular spot to trespass.


East of here, the Goat Path alignment fades into farmland, as PennDOT wasn't about to gobble up the rest of ROW until the roadway could be built beyond a single exit. So, the best that can be done now is to extend the good road another few miles, then stick PA 23 traffic back on the old alignment anyway. The final goodie beyond the salt dome area is a culvert that now takes naught but grass across the stream.
