Or, does it not. (Or, does it say it does and have many interruptions along the way.)
And now, some context. When I had to go to Mt. Wolf/York PA area, I ended up on what I believe was US-30. Jumped on various roads through Philadelphia and some short stretches of highways (Rt 1?) and eventually was on what I believe was US-30 West. Went through Amish country and some windy one lane roads, clear into the area of Mt Wolf and York. My destination was there so I know it can be done.
This time, I'm planning me going to Manteno as well as Bourbonnais, Illinois (shooting range.) before next Friday night lol... so, my travels will likely put me in Hamilton/Trenton NJ "Thursday night." This is the nebulous of the context of this question.
Trenton or Hamilton. Right by I-195.. also, I-295. The ways to get to Philadelphia by making your way to that border area where the free bridge is (there are at least two, one is closer) are right there. Compare this to my normal route .. in this instance, it would be backwards to take my normal route. To go, follow me here... East to go North to go West. (I-195 East to what I presume would be Route 1 North, or Rt 130 North to Rt 1 North to jump on I-287 North to take it all the way to I-80 West to then go across PA, Westbound, in a straight shot, as per usual.)
That would be kind of stupid to go East to go North to go West.
But I am not taking I-76.. the PA Turnpike. No! Tolls.
So I got to thinking.. I can just take what I believe is US-30 all the way West, into Ohio, and once I am in Ohio I can connect to I-76 West and I know exactly where I am from there.
So, my main question is, is US-30 an actual connected road across the entire width of Pennsylvania and then continue into Ohio? Or does I-80 remain the only connecting line I see... if I can avoid going North (too much) I won't have extra expense etc...
I remember trying to travel US-30 at least once and either getting lost, or ending up on some hilly windy roads that count as transmission workouts. Hoping the experts can chime in on as to whether this is the best route, or.. to go across PA.. without paying tolls....
