Interstate 80 in Pennsylvania
Encyclopedia
The transcontinental Interstate 80
is designated across northern Pennsylvania
as the Keystone Shortway, officially the Z.H. Confair Memorial Highway. This route was built mainly along a completely new alignment, not paralleling any earlier U.S. Routes, as a shortcut to the tolled
Pennsylvania Turnpike
and New York State Thruway
. It does not serve any major cities in Pennsylvania, and serves mainly as a cross-state route on the Ohio
-New York City
corridor. Most of I-80's path across the state goes through hilly and mountainous terrain, with relatively flat areas playing home to the freeway toward the western tier of the state.
, 2,250 ft., although other interstate highways east of the Mississippi, including I-26
in North Carolina and Tennessee, reach higher elevations. This point is just east of Exit 111. A sign prominently displays this unusual fact about the Interstate.
Interstate 80 intersects cities such as DuBois
, Sharon
, Hazleton
, Stroudsburg
, and many other cities.
The corridor now served by I-80 was originally to be a branch of the Pennsylvania Turnpike
from Sharon to Stroudsburg. Planning was shifted to the Pennsylvania Department of Highways in 1956 with the passage of the National Interstate and Defense Highways Act.
In early plans for the Interstate Highway System
, the connection across northern Pennsylvania would have paralleled U.S. Route 6N
and U.S. Route 6
from what became Interstate 90
near West Springfield, Pennsylvania east to Scranton. (From Scranton east to Hartford, Connecticut
, Interstate 84
was built parallel to US 6.) From Scranton a route went southeast along U.S. Route 611 to the Stroudsburg
area, and then east along U.S. Route 46
to near New York City. On May 22, 1957, a request by Pennsylvania to move the corridor south was approved by the Federal Highway Administration
. (The Scranton-Stroudsburg connection was kept, and the new alignment merged with it west of Stroudsburg.) However, when the initial numbers were assigned later that year, they were drawn on a 1947 map, and so the corridor across northern Pennsylvania became part of Interstate 84
, while the Scranton-New York route became Interstate 82. (I-80 ran along the Pennsylvania Turnpike
- later Interstate 80S - to Harrisburg, where it split into I-80S to Philadelphia and I-80N (later Interstate 78
) to New York.) This was corrected the next year, as the Keystone Shortway became part of I-80, and the southern route became I-80S (later I-76) and I-78. I-84 was truncated to Scranton, and the Scranton-Stroudsburg connection became Interstate 81E (later renumbered Interstate 380
).
The first section of present I-80 to open was the Delaware Water Gap Toll Bridge
, opened December 16, 1953. This had been built as part of U.S. Route 611 and connected back to its old alignment soon after crossing into Pennsylvania. Construction on the rest of I-80 began in 1959 and was completed in 1970.
In 1993, exit 43 (now exit 284) of I-80, which serves the Pocono Raceway
, was designated the Richard Petty
Interchange in honor of the NASCAR
legend that drove the #43 car.
On March 7, 2011, the supporting wall on the eastbound I-80 bridge over Sullivan Trail in Tannersville collapsed from snow and rain. As a result, eastbound I-80 was reduced to one lane and Sullivan Trail was closed.
proposed tolling Interstate 80 as a means of raising transportation revenue. It is seeking the permission to put tolls on the highway through a Federal Highway Administration
pilot program that allows three states to place tolls on interstates. Missouri's Interstate 70
and Virginia
had already taken two of the spots. Under the plan, the PTC would assume all maintenance and toll-taking operations on I-80. The plan calls for up to ten toll plazas along the length of I-80 in Pennsylvania with a toll rate of 8 cents per mile, which would be comparable to the rate on the Pennsylvania Turnpike following a projected toll increase. Originally, I-80 was part of the PTC's 1,000 Mile Turnpike system, but with the passage of the Interstate Highway Act in 1954, the PTC abandoned the 1000 miles (1,609.3 km) system and only maintained the original east–west Turnpike and its Northeastern Extension
. Currently the only toll on I-80 in Pennsylvania is at the Delaware Water Gap
bridge between Pennsylvania and New Jersey
. Tolling on I-80 would be completed by 2010. On October 15, 2007, the lease for the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission to toll I-80 was signed.
This plan faced opposition from Northern Pennsylvania politicians who fear tolls will hurt the economy in the region and who do not want their tolls going toward funding mass transit. Congressmen John E. Peterson
and Phil English
have proposed a federal transportation bill that would ban the tolling of I-80. The chief executive officer of the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission has promised that the tolls would be used on highway projects in Pennsylvania and not on mass transit. On December 12, 2007, the FHWA rejected the plan, and returned Pennsylvania's application for tolling I-80 with questions stating why the state should place tolls on the highway.
On September 11, 2008, the Federal Highway Administration rejected Pennsylvania's application to toll Interstate 80 for the second time.
On April 6, 2010, the Federal Highway Administration rejected this application for the third time.
