 History and pictures of the Pennsylvania Turnpike and tunnels
After cresting Rays Hill, the bypass runs parallel to the original road along the top of a ridge for a few miles before crossing over to the north side of the old turnpike a few hundred feet north of the eastern portal of the Sideling Hill Tunnel.
The bypass diverts from the original road just west of the original Breezewood interchange and climbs the western side of Rays Hill south of the old right-of-way.
The Turnpike had only been open for a little over a year when the United States was drawn into World War II, and for the next four years the volume of traffic on the Turnpike was drastically curtailed, as was traffic elsewhere during the war.
