This Abandoned Highway Through America’s Heartland Is Painfully Beautiful

This abandoned highway in Pennsylvania is overgrown yet stunning. Shot via drone by YouTuber Kyle Mills, this video features a 13-mile stretch of highway that was last used in 1968 – over half a century ago. The highway is now closed to motor vehicles, but explorations on foot and by drone have yielded some spectacular finds.

The Pennsylvania autumn foliage is simply stunning.

The video dives into the shadowy tunnels of the abandoned road.

You can see how the new highway (right) runs near the old route (left).

This highway is now used as an unofficial bike trail.
