Pennsylvania's Ghost Highway to Nowhere

In the heart of Amish country, just east of Lancaster PA lies one of the strangest and most incomplete highway projects in American history. This result of this on again off again project is most dramatic when viewed from the air. The uniform light green strip of land cuts a path through the irregular shapes of farmland. Later in the video I’ll show what the area looks like on the ground today but first a quick history. In the 1960s planning started on a roughly 12 mile stretch of prime farmland in Lancaster county PA. The goal was to bypass Route 23 and to help relieve congestion that had been caused by a rapid influx of new cars on the road. By the 1970s work hard started on the project in the form of significant grading and other earthwork. There were also several overpasses built so that the new route would be limited access, passing over some and under other existing roads in the countryside.
