This part of the original Pennsylvania Turnpike was bypassed in 1968 to ease traffic congestion. The three tunnels were part of a failed railroad project. Now nature reclaims the area back. The surface is cracked and overgrown with plants. Watch out for glass splinters. The tunnels are full with graffiti. The entrance of the Rays Hill Tunnel became popular after the post-apocalyptic movie 'The Road' based on the book by Cormack McCarthy. It serves as a great setting for an apocalyptic scenery.
