Notes
  • Significance: Constructed near the intersection of U.S. 30 and SR 126 which led south into Maryland and Virginia, the Breezewood Plaza is one of eleven original interchanges along the turnpike where motorists exited or entered the turnpike. By the time the plaza was rebuilt in 1969-70, the nearby town of Breezewood was home to numerous gas stations and motels that had been erected to serve the ever-increasing number of motorists.
