 Visit us at travel.state.gov today. Long before our current Pennsylvania Turnpike, there was the Chambersburg to Bedford Turnpike Route 30 today. Established in 1815, tolls paid to develop this road that cut travel time from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh to only three days. Plentiful goods were now coming into our community via the Conestoga wagon, the tractor-trailer of its day. But when a new railroad provided a cheaper way to haul freight, Conestoga traffic dropped significantly.
