Pennsylvania Turnpike

The Pennsylvania Turnpike is a major highway system that spans much of Pennsylvania, functioning as a toll road for efficient travel across the state. Built in the 1940s, it connects key cities and regions, facilitating commerce and daily commuting. Travelers pay tolls based on distance or vehicle type, which fund maintenance and improvements. The turnpike features multiple lanes, rest areas, and safety measures, serving as a vital transportation corridor for both local and long-distance drivers. Its well-maintained infrastructure supports economic activity and provides a reliable route across Pennsylvania.
