Driving Through 3 Pennsylvania Mountain Tunnels And Connecticut tunnel

[@michaeltreadwell777]

Who knew that watching you drive through tunnels would be so fascinating :-) Keep safe :-)

[@violantederojas6188]

Pa has some really big Mtns, so back when folks really needed work, the US Gov't paid folks to build tunnels.....worked out well....FDR was a brilliant man for his time...(got lots of improvements needed to be done, got a lot of unemployed folks? Ah ha! Problem solved!)

[@jimrossi7708]

Violante de Rojas , yes and people where put to work on important infrastructure projects and that’s why this country is what it is today, I believed it was called the WPA.

[@andie_pants]

I feel like any similar proposals today would get instantly shot down as being socialism.

[@jimrossi7708]

grovermatic , I’m a conservative and my mother who was a old school democrat told me all about how they did work under the program to put walls in the river where I live in Jersey under the works program and how it helped give people work and at the same time helped the country, the problem today is people don’t like to compromise, where as I was taught to put our country first !

[@jackkollhoff9519]

Yeah there’s a decent amount of evidence that FDR’s new deal wasn’t as good as it seems. He was also towing the line of becoming power hungry.

[@cindywho134]

Regardless of politics It seems like infrastructure projects could put some people back to work.

[@campermatt2652]

I always watch the lights as we pass under the tunnels 😂

[@showcasecity]

Camper Matt lol same

[@BlessedDeity777]

Yh it seems satisfying when I watch them in my opinion

[@nopegaming2117]

These tunnels always told me we had actually made progress on our lllllooooonnnngg trips. I find them calming

[@russs7574]

I'm from the Pittsburgh area, and we'd go on vacation at Wildwood every summer. The tunnels were the high points of the trip out.

[@SuperZytoon]

Your videos are so varied and informative. You seem so carefree and unhurried. There is no interesting place that is too far for you to share with us, your KZbin family. I’m so happy you suddenly popped up on my screen several weeks ago. I have something to look forward to each day while living in solitary confinement.

[@jackkollhoff9519]

There’s not many KZbinrs who can go from cleaning culverts, feeding their pet leech by allowing it to feed off of them, railfanning, and exploring abandoned tunnels all while keeping the interest of most of the audience. Pretty impressive.

[@andie_pants]

Tunnels are just people culverts. :-)

[@ogginator]

:D

[@CrazyWeatherDude]

Underrated comment!

[@nopegaming2117]

R/technicallythetruth

[@showcasecity]

grovermatic yeah!

[@lou_ann90]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 the exact truth!!!

[@showcasecity]

I used to love traveling through tunnels like that when on family trips as a kid.

[@user-bd4oc9jt9e]

You are the king of obscure video topics

[@ogginator]

Thanks you for writing the lengths in meters. Love from Sweden!

[@seal7659]

Damn even more content..... this mans stays posting

[@MartyInTheWoods]

hence the name: *post 10* 😆

[@seal7659]

Marty 😂

[@langer24106]

Tunnel entrance into Pittsburgh is the absolute best city entrance ever

[@russs7574]

You can't beat coming into Pittsburgh via the Ft. Pitt Tunnel. Well, except for the part where traffic moves through it about 10 mph for several hours a day. The tunnel is awesome...the Parkway is a giant pain in the ass.

[@maryannanderson7517]

Thanks for taking us with you on this little road trip. I am pretty much permanently confined to my home so videos like this is about the only way I see new sights. Beautiful countryside.

[@michlass8933]

Thank for sharing. I remember as a child we held our breath till we cleared the tunnel.

[@seal7659]

Wild child 😅

[@CrazyWeatherDude]

We do that while going under the George Wallace tunnel!

[@ChaiLatte13]

Yep same here!

[@ricj7517]

You get some really awesome pics..The view is amazing

[@snowballsolis]

These remind me of tunnels in Atlanta and a few where I live. "GPS Signal Lost" gave me a heart attack. I remember traveling to North Georgia for a family trip to a park but ended up in someone's house... It was terrifying. 😅 From now on, I always download the route or remember road names. Upper East Coast seems like a nice place to just take a scenic drive. 😊🧡

[@ianice3584]

Missouri is also nice, it's like a roller coaster with the hills almost, but it's not too bad, in some places (like where i live) it's full of old buildings, farmers, and other things, in other places, it's a big, wonderful city

[@jimrossi7708]

Post 10, 👍🏼 boy those tunnels bring back memories of when I did my Secaucus to Columbus, Ohio runs ! I really enjoy watching you travel the northeast, it brings back sights and sounds of the roads, I loved running at night and listening to “Coast to Coast AM” especially when George had guests talking about UFO’s or supernatural stuff like “Bigfoot” ! Keep up the good work !

[@BarredCoast0]

Post 10 out there everyday grinding out more content. With almost 200k subs he's got a great following and no 8-5 job either. I like his style! 🚲

[@Tio683]

I love watching your videos. Always waiting for them!!!!

[@dadams9158]

As always thanks for taking us with you.

[@pla4825]

Something so relaxing about tunnels too me 😊

[@jefnatuurfilmer]

What a beautiful erea i love the hills that you see other side of the tunnel.

[@pheurbelvls3710]

Beautiful mountains. 💚💚

[@MrAudienceMember2662015]

That was fun! Thanks for the history too!

[@teresal5959]

Fantastic video!!!!! Thanks. Really enjoyed it!!

[@nashguy207]

Thanks for the trip Post i have never been on the turnpike.

[@williamfindspeople4341]

Thank you for sharing this, I take this trip to my sister's house.

[@michelegodshall4546]

I just dove thru those to visit my Dad 3 weeks ago :))) Awesome area! 👍🙃

[@vernondouglas4425]

I used to love going through tunnels as a kid

[@pihoihoi]

Thanks for this video ♥ I just love tunnels, especially tunnels built in the 19th century. But 20th century tunnels are awesome too!

[@margaretgarnto6272]

I love tunnels, too, especially tunnels that have lights in them and they are never dark. That's why I am a tunnel nut.

[@goodguygto]

For what it's worth?, thank you!! Appreciate your content!!, especially this video. I'm a truck driver!, every time I go through the Eisenhower Tunnel (I-70 Colorado), it feels like the first time!!, every time!!!👍😎😎

[@goodguygto]

@William anderson No need to subscribe to me!🐻 I'm NOT somebody special!!✌️✌️👍

[@russs7574]

Once upon a time, there were several more tunnels along the Turnpike Mainline....7 in all, I think. I grew up just outside Pittsburgh, and my family would vacation every summer in Wildwood, NJ. When I was a kid, going through the tunnels was the highlight of our drive out to the Jersey Shore. I think there are 4 left in use now. Three are farther east, and one (Allegheny Mountain) is in the Laurel Highlands. Nowadays, I like to ride out to Shawnee State Park on a free day, and I'll go through it.

[@universalpedagogue]

Cool stuff, man! You're in my territory! I'm glad you enjoy your history. You should check out the abandoned stretch of the turnpike by Breezewood if you're around again.

[@lesliemoiseauthor]

When I was a little girl, my mother always let my sisters and I sing at the top of our lungs with the windows open when we drove through tunnels. This really takes me back.

[@laurenbauer670]

I miss Pennsylvania... this was fun to watch

[@jamesb1221222]

My buddies and I just walked through the abandoned rays hill tunnel friday. It was awesome! we tried for the sideling hill tunnel too but it was too far for us to walk

[@patdthomas]

Heroes Tunnel, formally known as the West Rock Tunnel on the Wilbur Cross Parkway in Connecticut was once part of my almost daily commute. Damn I loved driving that highway!

[@Frank-ko9wh]

Great video of the tunnels in my home state. Been through them a zillion times. Here's a minor correction for you: please note that it's Tuscarora, not Tuscarola. Thanks for posting!

[@stopthemuzik7]

Gosh this video makes me miss beautiful Pennsylvania. 🥺

[@mrcleanz1540]

You’re voice has changed so much! I’m so amazed lol

[@davids9520]

These tunnels are almost identical to the tunnel that crosses between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, Canada. That tunnel crosses a river, a opposed to hills or mountains. I am still stunned seeing mountains when I travel. So attractive and grand to see in person.

[@stupidestn00b]

Really hope you come visit Altoona, Pa! Awesome railroad museum and history, and some pretty terrible drains and roads lol. Definitely up your alley!

[@russs7574]

You mean "Curve, Pa." don't you? I make it up there a couple times a summer. Stop at the Portage Railroad and Horseshoe Curve in the morning and early afternoon, throw a few games at Holiday Bowl, and then go watch the Curve. Always a nice day.

[@dabitodoroki9253]

Reminds me of driving to vacation in my home country of Austria. We have a lot of these tunnels sometimes stretching for multiple kilometers going through the alps.

[@russs7574]

Being from Austria, you could paraphrase Crocadile Dundee....."Now THAT's a tunnel."

[@cpsheedy]

Great video! Did you happen to check out the abandoned tunnel near Breezewood?

[@ragyithakuri7966]

i remembered your voice from the road unclogging videos!!

[@valentina-ok9ll]

and in this moment, we are infinite

[@d22matt]

Those arrows in the road surface are a brilliant idea. We don't have those here in the UK.

[@xXninjafire621Xx]

great video it felt like i was really in the car with you. very immersive dialogue

[@cindywho134]

I never thought about the lighting in tunnels and I live in PA and have been through a few.

[@MrDmagic88]

Nothing passes your eye! 😎

[@kirbybro2337]

Right, He really calls out the details 👁️🛣️🌄 #Boss

[@gurueddy]

Very interesting to see older tunnels like that. Most of the newer tunnels here in Australia have a lot more safety features like emergency lighting, exit signs, sprinklers and monitored by cctv. A crash and fire can be fatal not just to the crashed vehicles, but every other motorist in the tunnel.

[@brianleeper5737]

There are emergency exits with exit signs on the inner walls of the first three tunnels. The existing lighting is considered emergency lighting if it has a backup power source, which it most likely does.

[@kylek6842]

I wish you would have done the Lehigh Tunnel that's the only tunnel I ever really go through

[@nancy28352]

Imagine how bright the tunnels would be if they were cleaned!

[@adventureswithandreanderik4086]

Cool!!

[@TheNmattsson]

Cool video, thanks. :)

[@deeg4031]

I really like the lighted arrows on the floors of the lanes in the first tunnel! Didn't you know you're supposed to lift your feet and hold your breath through a tunnel? Lol ... Nice little side trip at the end of my day and I didn't have to do the driving? 👍😍

[@JanxAngel]

Do you ever plan to offer prints of the gorgeous photos you put up at the end of some of the videos?

[@J4SP3RS]

im weirdly obsessed with tunnels like this so happy i got here.

[@nickfortunato2938]

Whenever I drive to my home town in Connecticut about the time I hit Pennsylvania it's 8pm, so after driving for 13 hours the lights in the tunnel helps me to wake up lol

[@WollongongWacko]

You cool Post, you wicked cool.

[@HarrisonPeloso]

the last tunnel you went through i believe is off exit 64 on the whilber cross in New haven.

[@davidm7971]

That last tunnel is the one on the Parkway, between Woodbridge/New Haven and Hamden, under West Rock. Exit 59/60 area.

[@johnm.evangelis693]

That's not a good sign when water is dripping from the roof of the tunnel!

[@TrevortheGemini]

It’s like a huge culvert for traffic instead of water LOL xD

[@lou1slrdc_107]

Hi another banger of a video

[@erikkohl2150]

I love running the tunnels on the PA Turnpike. I've been through Rays Hill and Sideling Hill tunnels. That makes me an antique. Please correct your text to read "Tursarora Tunnel".

[@russs7574]

I'm an antique as well. I've been through the Laurel Hill Tunnel. Not only that, I remember when they were just single tubes, with one lane of traffic in each direction.

[@lillchief]

"ROAD TRIP, ROAD TRIP, YAHHHHHH"😂🤣😎👍

[@jonathontheaker8263]

Car Culverts are awesome.

[@GerryLynch]

I LOVE THE VIDEO

[@dco2006]

I go through these tunnels once a year when I travel 😎

[@gracelove886]

Love from the U.K. Don't know how i got here though.

[@BPoohbear1030]

I don’t know why, but tunnels like these give me anxiety.

[@jenniferburchill3658]

Both directions in one tunnel, just like in the old days of the PA turnpike...

[@admiralcapn]

Allegheny Tunnel (furthest west, not in this video) is the longest, and has the steepest approach. Blue Mountain tunnel (easternmost, third tunnel in this video) goes under the same mountain as the Lehigh Tunnel on the Turnpike Northeast Extension (I-476) over a hundred miles away. The mountain is a long diagonal, while the turnpike highways go (more-or-less) due east/west, then due north/south.

[@phishlipsable]

as kids we'd see who could hold their breath for the duration of the tunnels.. kittatiny and blue mtn were the hardest because you barely had time to catch your breath before the next began

[@ganon01ryanoutsen92]

I remember Seattle tunnels does do that

[@TheHearseAroundJimThorpe]

Yeah so imagine an even patcher tiled tunnel and have tiles also on the ceiling with many missing. That’s the Lehighton tunnel easily different from the tunnels you went through because one is circular and one is square

[@JaneTaylor]

ive seen so many accidents on the other side of the heroes tunnel cuz of the merrits interchanges lol

[@SimchaWaldman]

Tuscarola Mountain tunnel: 87 seconds, 41.7 mph. Kittatinny Mountain tunnel: 58 seconds, 55.5 mph. Blue Mountain tunnel: 53 seconds, 55.8 mph. Heroes tunnel: 15 seconds, 54.5 mph.

[@kyledert2049]

In those tunnels is that all individual subway tiles ?

[@Tio683]

I assume you like tunnels. Tunnel like structures like drains, culvert, etc

[@jenniferbutcher8393]

Do these tunnels have the air ducts like the old tunnel you explored (and rode your bike in)?

[@post.10]

yes they do

[@larryvaughnii4570]

How steep are the inclines on the turnpike? Is it a gradual incline up into the mountains or a big steep climb up the mountains?

[@MrJeep75]

Old original was probably that nice one time

[@featherjean6291]

Have you gone through the Lehigh?

[@vigilancebrandon3888]

CT represent!

[@luca7069]

Non american here, just wondering: how common are tunnels like these, with "no overtake" continuous white lines in the middle around the country? Is it just cause these are old?

[@nopegaming2117]

In most cases lane changes are not allowed in tunnels around the U.S.

[@luca7069]

@@nopegaming2117 Thanks

[@rover5788]

Nice, Post! :)

[@matthewmanley4479]

Hi post! Whats the name of your leech!

[@sylviaklein2991]

Hey, greetings from Germany. You're doing a great job with all the drains, you're cleaning. (watched a lot of your videos) But please be careful. I guess, some of the plants you pull out are looking like ambrosia, a dangerous one. I can of course be wrong, but please be careful. Hope to see lot more vids of you.

[@6point5by55]

I don't need to travel to the U.S. to see it. I just watch post 10 and I'm there. Saves on a big airfare and avoids the current issues with international travel. Also...I don't need a visa. Woohoo.

Next time you go westbound thru the Tuscarora Tunnel, look up at the name of the tunnel. The " S " in Tuscarora is upside down.

[@russs7574]

Still?

[@MaddScientist27]

Not a single thing to say about our Connecticut tunnels . Brutal.

[@davidm7971]

Doesn't want to get taxed... lmao

[@pizzaivlife]

not to complain, but could you look into lowering some of the road noise on driving videos? I use a hi fi system for computer audio and either have to shake the house (with the bass all the way down) or not be able to hear you talking. Otherwise love the content

[@nopegaming2117]

It is just so you feel more immersed in the video. Ignore the pictures falling off the walls.

The tunnels give West Virginia tunnels a run for its money.
