They built that in FOUR YEARS?!? These days for a project like that after four years the court battles and approvals wouldn't even be finished. That's NOT progress. There is a section of the Turnpike near Breezewood that was abandoned in the 60's when the two tunnels were bypassed. It's a fascinating place to visit and it's shocking how narrow and close together the sides of the highway are compared to modern ones. (the tunnels are also REALLY dark!). There is a fascinating video from 1953 of driving though the tunnels on the Turnpike. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OOP_QoizcWc.htmlsi=LWA94BFJwrafpHYJ
