Interstate 80 - July 1999 - From New Jersey to California

Interstate 80 (I-80) is the second-longest Interstate Highway in the United States, following Interstate 90. It is a transcontinental artery running from downtown San Francisco, California to Teaneck, New Jersey in the New York City Metropolitan Area. I-80 is the Interstate Highway that most closely approximates the route of the historic Lincoln Highway, the first road across America. The highway roughly traces other historically significant travel routes in the Western United States: the Oregon Trail across Wyoming and Nebraska, the California Trail across most of Nevada and California, and except in the Great Salt Lake area, the entire route of the First Transcontinental Railroad.
From near Chicago, Illinois, east to near Youngstown, Ohio, Interstate 80 is a toll road, containing the majority of both the Indiana Toll Road and the Ohio Turnpike. I-80 runs concurrent with Interstate 90 from near Portage, Indiana to Elyria, Ohio. I-80 becomes the Keystone Shortway, a freeway built across rural northern Pennsylvania expressly for I-80, with its eastern origin at its junction with the New Jersey Turnpike and Interstate 95 just west of the George Washington Bridge entering New York City.

It so lonely once you hit the midwest. The road is empty.
