⁴ᴷ Interstate 70 (Breezewood, PA) westbound [4K VIDEO]

Video follows Interstate 70 westbound through Breezewood, PA. Breezewood is an unincorporated town in East Providence Township, Bedford County, Pennsylvania. Along a traditional pathway for Native Americans, European settlers, and British troops during colonial times, in the early 20th century, the small valley that became known as Breezewood was a popular stopping place for automobile travelers on the Lincoln Highway, beginning in 1913. Greyhound Lines opened a Post House facility in the town in 1935; it closed in 2004. It has about 200 permanent residents. In 1940, Breezewood was designated exit 6 on the just-opened Pennsylvania Turnpike. In the 1960s, Breezewood became the junction of the Turnpike and the new Interstate 70. Breezewood has been labeled a "tourist trap" and choke point because traffic between I-70 and the Turnpike, which carries I-70 westward from Breezewood, is routed along surface streets lined with gas stations, hotels, restaurants, and traffic lights, rather than directly via a freeway-to-freeway junction. This segment of I-70 is one of the few parts of the Interstate Highway System that is not a controlled-access highway.
