This toll road was built back in 1940. It was the first highway with limited access. The road provides a direct link between the Mid-Atlantic and Midwestern states. It also significantly cuts travel time between Pittsburgh and Harrisburg — almost in half.

The turnpike starts in the east and goes west across the state, connecting different areas of three cities at once - Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, and Philadelphia. In the central part, the highway crosses the Appalachians with the help of four tunnels. It goes across the Ohio state line and into New Jersey. The road crosses the Delaware River.

Along the Pennsylvania Turnpike Mainline there are key transport junctions, which allows you to transfer to other highways as conveniently as possible.
