October 1, 1940, marked the day that easy travel began between the eastern and western points of Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania Turnpike, also known as the "Dream Highway" and "America's First Superhighway," has allowed travelers to drive from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh in about 358 miles. Since it's opening, the turnpike has extended its reach with the Northeastern Extension near Philadelphia, which covers 110 miles, and the Western Expansions, near Pittsburgh, which covers 61.5 miles.
