Welcome
to the
Ray's Hill/Sideling Hill/
Laurel Hill Tunnel and Abandoned
Pennsylvania Turnpike Website!
(Photo used by permission; M. Dakelman)
Dedicated
to the history and preservation of
the abandoned Pennsylvania Turnpike sections.
I hope to make this website a place for everyone to share their stories and read
those of others who have been to the abandoned
Pennsylvania Turnpike and seen
and maybe photographed the scenery. I will fund this site for the next
year at least and if the popularity is there,
I will continue to do so.

SOUTHERN
ALLEGHENIES CONSERVANCY - this is the organization
that now owns and controls most of the abandoned Pennsylvania Turnpike
between Breezewood and Hustontown, PA. The old roadway and tunnels now
are referred to as the Superhighway Trail or unofficially, the Pike to Bike
Trail.

NOTE:
I am looking for co-authors and contributors of stories of your visits to the
old abandoned turnpike and your pictures.
I welcome your shared
pictures and experiences from both the days before the roadway and tunnels
became open to the public, as well as your
stories and pictures since
2001. Please know that all credit due will be given for your sharing of
your stories as well as your pictures.
If you have an existing site that you would like to have either linked to this
site or would like to move your site to mine,
I would be happy to work out
agreements for that as well.
I
need any help that you can offer! Thanks! Ray :-)
