I am a Lehigh Valley local, and I use this road frequently, So it's so nice that you've made a road video of one of the United States' most overlooked metropolitan areas.
Oh joy, the Crayola factory and Dorney Park. There is a huge Cabelas on top of the hill though. I was just about to add Sesame Place but I realize that's further south closer to Philly. You can tell I've had young kids 🤣 In all seriousness, 78 isn't a bad road. Goes right to the Holland Tunnel and for someone that lives on Long Island and always faces that decision when going home from the west - Holland or Lincoln tunnel - it's a useful road. Problem is news/traffic doesn't often report the tunnel traffic, only the GW. Not many roads that cross New Jersey E-W.
Gosh, I hate travelling on I-78 through PA. Road conditions are terrible and there has been on-going road work that's been going on for over 20 years and still not done.
Much of the road W of A-B was laid directly atop ancient US-22 with its narrow cross section. Really should have been completely reconstructed-with a sixty foot median. The piece directly E of I-81 was built on new terrain and is better.
18:42 to 24:33 try driving that section between 1am and 2am EST (10pm-11pm PST) you are going to encounter heavy road works there. MP 77.3 NJ State Line MP 63 Northampton Lehigh County Line
So there's a highway I took from Orlando, Florida to North Jersey with the "avoid toll roads" option on just because I wanted to see the "scenic route" through Pennsylvania. All I remember seeing were these beautiful, lush, green, rolling hills in the distance. They were of pretty high altitude but they weren't mountains. They were like hills. The only vegetation I could see was grass and not many trees. I had never seen anything like that. There were houses on them. You would have thought that it was somewhere like Ireland or something straight out of the Lord of The Rings. It was either I78 or 76. Can anyone tell me where this was?
I’m curious how steep any part of this route gets from New Jersey to Hersey I have a fear of steep hills traveling down or ledges. My girls want to go to Hersey park I want to know what to expect

Oh, wow, so, in the south, you have I-22 and route 78 together. Here, you have route 22 and I-78 together.
I-78 Was The daily commute my family took every day to get to Allentown
Awesome drive along I 78 East
Nice ride on interstate 78 east

I thought that the more memorable Cabela's was back at Exit 29 (PA 61).
@@markmoore8399 Could be. I remember passing it on the way to Dorney Park.
@@markmoore8399 yes, Cabela’s is in Hamburg, in Berks County…

Great video, Mike! Just being picky.... you forgot the PA 309 shield between exits 54 and 60. 🙂
Good call!

Can you record eastbound side of crossing bridge from Pennsylvania to New Jersey on I 78 eastbound
Are you planning on doing a video of Bethlehem, Pa?I hope you do.I would like to see what Bethlehem, Pa looks like.
In the far western Lehigh county, show the tractor trailer accidents. Driving a car is nearly suicide.

Anyone know the best time to leave NJ to get to Allentown with the least amount of traffic on a Friday? NJ outside of Manhattan. Thanks. Going on 78.
I am surprised that you omitted the PA 309 shield on the I-78/PA 309 concurrency.
Didn't notice it when I was editing. That one snuck past me.
Pennsylvania
You lucked out because there is hardly any traffic.
Herrs. Fato
Goes from Pennsylvania to New York.
Yep. The road to NYC
