- The abandoned highway, formerly part of Pennsylvania Route 61, closed to the public in 1993, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. It was shut down due to damage caused by the continuously burning Centralia underground coal mine fire.
The road is privately owned by Pagnotti Enterprises, but continues to draw visitors. Some admire the graffitti, while others ride dirt bikes and ATVs. Graffiti Highway is a cultural landmark for many Pennsylvanians - a reminder of how beautiful things can arise from awful situations.
The owners of Graffiti Highway closed the site earlier this month, covering it with between 8,000 and 10,000 tons of dirt, the highway will become a field filled with trees and flowers, eliminating all of the creative graffiti and attractive imagery.
Thanks for watching.

All the money for the piles of dirt, the landowner could've just opened a tourist shop--popcicles and t-shirts.
Yeah well some people are old miserable f’s
It was beautiful to see in person, all the creativity. Such a shame they covered it up.
Thanks for looking into Centralia further! I'd forgotten about Graffiti Highway altogether when I told you about the town earlier.
People are enjoying something? We can't have that, let's spend money to bury it.
Did you miss the part where it keeps seeping carbon monoxide?
@@Mike23443 Any you're buying that line?
@@CathodeRayNipplez Did you miss the part where they said people were trashing the place up, and the police were constantly getting complaints about it?
@@CathodeRayNipplezWell, they did show it coming out from the earth. You must have closed your eyes and slept through the part in how it happened. But hey, you go over there and go down inside there and let us know there’s really no carbon monoxide, ok Nippless. 🤦🏻♀️
@6Twisted.. Like I told the other guy, you must have fallen asleep when the narrator was saying that people were leaving empty spray cans all over and other trash and near a church, too. And they were spraying graffiti in a cemetery. That’s beyond disrespectful, especially to the families of the deceased. There’s millions of other places the people in that state can go to, to have fun. Give them your address so they can disturb and trash, and spray graffiti your neighborhood. You do want these people to have fun, right? Lol 🤦🏻♀️
Guess we need some shovels and brooms eh?
Glad you mentioned one of my favorite games 👍
people always leave trash 😞
they put trash on it, they call it fill.
Glad I got to see this place several times. Was always clean, other passersby were kind and loved finding smoke and hot spots
I'm glad I did a video and visited the graffiti highway back in 2015 b4 this happened 🙌
I heard the story of this town before, but this was a different angle that was new to me.
They are horrified that every program that features Centralia
, shows graffiti road and somebody got mad or embarrassed!
Will trees grow through bitumen a foot thick?
If you bury a road like that doesnt it become landfill waste thus a rubbish dump? Do they need a permit for that?
Maybe that's why 3 years later those piles still haven't been leveled?
Highway 61 through Centralia is not blocked off or covered. There is a section of Highway 61 that was relocated due to unstable ground. This old abandoned section became known as graffiti highway due to it being completely covered in graffiti. Only graffiti highway was covered with dump truck loads of fill.
I've watch a bunch of videos of people on it, enjoying it, I didn't see piles of garbage and many spray cans. Garbage is everywhere anyway and it looks like some people must have kept it clean. The road itself was garbage, except people used it for entertainment. Now it is literally useless trash covered in more trash. Owner should be force to remove all fill and the road and plant some trees to truly erase it. They didn't know what they were buying or have a better plan? I'm sure Pagnotti Enterprises runs a top notch operation
Those piles of coal rubbish have now sat there for over three years. This will never be leveled or have trees planted on it, even weeds struggle to grow in those piles of crap to this day.
Except for grass. I saw a fair amount of grass growing on some of that dirt rubble in the video. Eventually it'll just look like a big grassy, hilly stretch.
The pavement was covered a while ago. That stretch of road became infamous because of the internet. Before that, nobody really paid much attention. I saw a little bit of the town and the cemetery. That was forty years ago.
