Aerial view of the Harrisburg West Shore Interchange, where curving ramps and overpasses spread across green fields and woods. A few cars are visible on the roads. The interchange was part of the Pennsylvania Turnpike's eastern extension, which opened in 1950 and brought the toll road through the Harrisburg area. The printed caption promotes the turnpike as 'THE WORLD'S GREATEST HIGHWAY' and notes the Morgantown interchange and U.S. Route 122 as another eastern-extension connection.
