U.S. Highway 322 - Pennsylvania @ The Lost Highway

U.S. Highway 322 - Pennsylvania

This set of photographs was taken by Keith Aaron in November 2003--except for the picture of the old bridge which was taken by Keith sometime during the late 1970's or early 1980's. The comments are by Keith as well.

	Aerial photo of the abandoned section between Shippenville and Clarion. It runs up through the woods and dead ends west of a private residence.
	Abandoned section between Clarion and Shippenville. Looking east just after a turnoff to what looks like a water treatment facility of some kind. The abandoned pavement is really crumbled at this point. It gets better 100 ft up.
	Abandoned section between Clarion and Shippenville. Looking east, dead end at a private residence.
	Abandoned section between Clarion and Shippenville. Looking back west, from the dead end.
	Abandoned approaches to the Clarion River. Looking east, the abandoned road approaches the Clarion River. The old faded road closed sign can be seen on the right.
	Abandoned approaches to the Clarion River. Looking back west from the east bound approach to the river.
	Abandoned approaches to the Clarion River. The old spring on the east side of Clarion River just beyond where the road made a 90-deg turn onto the long since demolished bridge.
	Abandoned approaches to the Clarion River. Looking east, the road heads toward the town of Clarion. The new Clarion river bridge can be seen in the background.
	A sign to tell us which road is which !!
	Aerial photo showing the new Clarion river bridge, as well as the abandoned pavement descending the hill down to the river.
	I took this picture many years ago when old road was still use. My sister always said this narrow classic truss bridge with the 90-deg bends on each end was a FUN bridge to cross. The new elevated bridge sweeps out from the hillside and over river, and is just no fun.
