Download or read book The Pennsylvania Turnpike written by Mitchell E. Dakelman and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2004-06-16 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: See how the Pennsylvania Turnpike proved the doubters wrong and came to be known as the World's Greatest Highway. The Pennsylvania Turnpike is one of the best-known highways in the United States. Most Pennsylvania Turnpike travelers are unaware that its construction was inspired by the route of the never-completed South Pennsylvania Railroad. In the 1930s, men of great vision conceived, planned, and built the nation's first long-distance superhighway using the abandoned railroad's partially finished tunnels as its foundation. The Pennsylvania Turnpike draws from the extensive photograph collection in the Pennsylvania State Archives. Many were taken by photographers hired by both the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission and its contractors, and most have never been published previously. Originally predicted to be a financial failure, the project wound up being a tremendous success and, eventually was expanded and improved, laying the groundwork for the nation's Interstate Highway System.

TO BRISTOL AND TRENTON THE first portion of what became the King's Road to New York was in use in 1677. In 1681 overseers were appointed by the Court at Upland to repair the highway from Bristol to the Falls of the Delaware (Trenton). On the 22d of 6th month, 1700, William Penn wrote to James Logan asking him to "urge the justices about the bridge at Pannepeck and Poquessin that he might be able to come to the city." On November 19, 1686, at a meeting held in Philadelphia, the Provincial Council ordered the road called the King's Highway to be laid out to Morrisville. This was the first public road surveyed in Bucks County. There was no regular transportation line along the road until 1725. In that year an enterprising man advertised that four wheel chairs would be run, on notice to the proprietor, from the Three Tuns tavern, on Chestnut street, between Second and Third streets, all the way to Frankford. The fare was to be ten shillings. At intervals through the next thirty years announcement was made of further ventures in transportation until it became possible to go all the way from Philadelphia to New York by stage wagons. The first stage coach through from Philadelphia to New York began to run in 1756; the time required was three days. In 1783 Johann Schoepf wrote: A diligence known as the Flying Machine makes daily trips between Philadelphia and New York, covering the distance of 90 miles in one day, even in the hottest weather, but at the expense of the horses, only three times changed in the journey. Thus the last trip two horses died in harness, and four others were jaded. These flying machines are in reality only large wooden carts with tops, light to be sure, but neither convenient nor of neat appearance. They carry from ten...
