Tags: Road Tunnel.

Rays Hill Tunnel is one of three original Pennsylvania Turnpike tunnels which were abandoned (this one in 1968) after two massive realignment projects. The others included the Sideling Hill Tunnel and further west the Laurel Hill Tunnel. Rays Hill Tunnel is 3532 feet (1077 m) long. It was the shortest of the seven original tunnels on Pennsylvania Turnpike. Due to its short length it only contains ventilation fans at its western portal.
