Butler, PA has many brick roads, still in good shape. Most however are in drug infested neighborhoods, so sightsee-ers beware!

Beautiful video. Modern day archeology at it' best!

I'm very familiar with brick roads! Along with the Penn Hwy there was the national pike (most of which is modern-day US 40) which also had many brick stretches! Saw much brick work on the Ohio portion, and most of it has been restored and/or preserved. But there are still some really rustic brick road portions to be had there! The section called Peacock Road east of Cambridge is a good example. Thinking about posting video.

How is it plowed without dislodging the bricks?

brick is deadly when wet or icy.
I've only seen brick roads in two places. My grandparents lived in Turtlr Creek and their road was paved with bricks, and if I remember right so were most of the side streets in the area. I live near Medina, Ohio and there are two brick roads there. The city wanted to replace the bricks on one of them but there were many complaints, mostly from the residents of that street.

It was actually common for cities to use bricks, as they usually had a plant nearby. The federal roads using bricks was a lot more rare...that's why it's exciting. I believe the brick section at one time made its way another 5 miles east or so as there was other remnants up to a few years ago.
