YORK To GETTYSBURG Pennsylvania Lincoln Highway (US Route 30) Driving Tour
In this video we drive from York to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania on US Route 30 - the Lincoln Highway.
U.S. Route 30 or U.S. Highway 30 (US 30) is an east–west main route in the system of the United States Numbered Highways, with the highway traveling across the northern tier of the country.
With a length of 3,073 miles (4,946 km), it is the third longest U.S. highway, after U.S. Route 20 and U.S. Route 6. The western end of the highway is at US 101 in Astoria, Oregon; the eastern end is at Virginia Avenue, Absecon Boulevard, and Adriatic Avenue in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Despite long stretches of parallel and concurrent Interstate Highways, it has not been decommissioned unlike other long haul routes such as U.S. Route 66.
The "0" as the last number in the digit indicates that it is ...

A drive down US Route 30 from North Huntingdon to Greensburg PA November 1990.
Starts on Guffey road with a stop a Norwin junior high west, then to Norwin shopping center, then down route 30 through Irwin, Jeannette and to Greensburg.
I was just playing around with a new camcorder and decided to film a drive we were taking. I was holding the camera in the passenger seat so it is shaky and I zoom in and out a lot for no reason. Enjoy.

State Route 30 A25 Rapid Bridge Replacement Timelapse
Work was completed in May 2016 to replace the Route 30 bridge over Bessemer Avenue in East Pittsburgh in Allegheny County. The single-span structure was replaced using accelerated bridge construction methods. It was demolished and replaced in just 57 hours using precast modules. Around 20 workers on 12-hour shifts cleared much of the old structure and pieced together the new one. It replaces a 1930 bridge that had become structurally deficient. The stretch of Route 30 carries about 22,000 vehicles a day.

Rare brick Road US Rt 30 Lincoln Highway Paris to Robertsville OH
I shot this video the first time in 2015 and it didn’t come out very good. I was hoping to shoot it better today and of course it started raining. Apologies for the raindrops on the windshield. Before the federal highway system with standardized communities used paving material that was readily available to their area. Take a journey on a well preserved brick section of the Lincoln Highway. Probably built around 1913.

U.S. Route 34 WB, U.S. Route 30 (Oswego, IL) to Somonauk, IL | VirtualRoad
**Best viewed in 1080p60 or 720p60, time stamps below description.
Welcome to the fourth and final part of our Ogden Ave/U.S. Route 34 WB series from Chicago to Somonauk, IL! We begin at where the last video ended at U.S. Route 30 in Oswego, IL approximately 35 miles from Downtown Chicago. We continue all the way into Oswego's historic Downtown area where we cross the Fox River making a few turns in the process. Up to Downtown Oswego from the start of this video, 30 years ago there was nothing out there! Most of what we drive by in this first part was built within the last 20 to 30 years. After crossing the Fox River, we enter the more rural and wooded west side of Oswego passing older homes on larger lots approaching Orchard Rd. After Orchard Rd, we pass a few more Oswego streets before e...

Despite long stretches of parallel and concurrent Interstate Highways, it has not been decommissioned unlike other long haul routes such as U.S. Route 66.
The "0" as the last number in the digit indicates that it is a coast-to-coast route and a major east-west route. Much of the historic Lincoln Highway, the first road across America (from New York City to San Francisco), became part of US 30; it is still known by that name in many areas.
US 30 and US 20 break the general U.S. Route numbering guidelines in Oregon, since US 20 actually starts south of US 30 in Newport, Oregon and US 30 runs parallel to the north throughout the state (the Columbia River and Interstate 84).
The two run concurrently and continue in the correct positioning near Caldwell, Idaho. This is because US 20 was not a planned coast-to-coast route while US 30 was. US 20 originally ended at the eastern entrance of Yellowstone National Park; it was extended in 1940.

**Best viewed in 1080p60 or 720p60, time stamps below description.
Welcome to the fourth and final part of our Ogden Ave/U.S. Route 34 WB series from Chicago to Somonauk, IL! We begin at where the last video ended at U.S. Route 30 in Oswego, IL approximately 35 miles from Downtown Chicago. We continue all the way into Oswego's historic Downtown area where we cross the Fox River making a few turns in the process. Up to Downtown Oswego from the start of this video, 30 years ago there was nothing out there! Most of what we drive by in this first part was built within the last 20 to 30 years. After crossing the Fox River, we enter the more rural and wooded west side of Oswego passing older homes on larger lots approaching Orchard Rd. After Orchard Rd, we pass a few more Oswego streets before entering Kendall County's county seat of Yorkville where we pass next to a mix of older homes and newer homes. You can probably notice at this point that the pavement looks practically brand-new. That is because it is! (Completed in 2019). U.S. Route 34 was widened in this segment up through Bridge St (IL Route 47) and was long overdue. Yorkville and Oswego ballooned tremendously in the last 20 years so it was needed! After crossing Bridge St you can see the road dips down the first of several more times throughout the video to cross the Blackberry Creek. We then rise back up as we pass through the rest of Yorkville and cross into Plano (Fun fact: Plano was the filming location for all the Smallville scenes in Man of Steel (2013) and the Kent Family Farm is only a few miles south of Yorkville's south side!). This part of US 34 also looks new all the way into Plano's downtown since Plano too doubled in size in the last 30 years (completed in 2014). The road dips down again to cross the Big Rock Creek (another tributary to the Fox River) before rising back up into Plano's downtown. We pass by many older buildings including Plano Molding Co's original complex and many of Plano's original homes before exiting out into countryside. A train blasts by on Little Rock Rd as we head into Sandwich, IL crossing Little Rock Creek with the road dipping down then back up again. At this point we are transitioning out of the Chicago Metro and heading into consistently rural neighborhoods. We pass through Sandwich's downtown just like we did Plano passing by historic homes and buildings before reaching Sandwich's west side. Sandwich's west side is home to the famous Sandwich Fair in which the Wed thru Sunday after Labor Day every year the area is packed with people for all of its festivities. After passing the Sandwich Fairgrounds the road dips down one last time over Somonauk Creek where we enter Somonauk, IL, the last city in this video. This is where we officially enter rural Northern Illinois and after Somonauk there is only a handful of cities to see for over 100 miles. We then pass straight through Somonauk and all of its older homes and buildings before reaching the town's far west side where this video ends.
I hope you guys enjoyed a VirtualRide on the Chicago Metro's Ogden Ave/U.S. Route 34 from the Big City Center in Chicago all the way to rural Northern Illinois in Somonauk, IL! It is quite a remarkable ride to see all those neighborhoods and how this road connects ALL of them!
