Exploring the Kittatinny and Blue Mountain Tunnels on the Pennsylvania Turnpike
Have you ever heard of the “World’s Greatest Highway”? Well, look no further than the Pennsylvania Turnpike, home to the Kittatinny and Blue Mountain Tunnels. These tunnels are often referred to as the “TWIN TUNNELS” due to the mere 800 feet of daylight that separates them.
Imagine driving through the Blue Mountain Tunnel and emerging on the other side to see the portal of the Kittatinny Tunnel in the distance. It’s a breathtaking sight that truly showcases the engineering marvel of these tunnels.
The color photo on this postcard, courtesy of the Penna. Turnpike Commission, captures this stunning view perfectly. From the rocky terrain to the lush greenery, it’s a snapshot of the beauty that surrounds these tunnels.
If you ever find yourself driving along the Pennsylvania Turnpike, be sure to take a moment to appreciate the Kittatinny and Blue Mountain Tunnels. They may just be a small part of your journey, but they are definitely worth a closer look.
