Reply to comment by Speakslinux in Has anyone been to the graffiti highway since its been covered? by conifer0

I read from someone that it wasn't even the state, as that was my first thought too. You'd thi k it was them for liability issues or some screatching "think of the children" types... But apparently it was a property owner who owns all the land there who did it. Don't know why someone would buy that land and just sit on it. Either way it sucks, but I don't know who actually did it or owns said property.

Yes and no. The state sold the land to a few parties that owned area property around the area including Pitreal Inc, a subsididary of Pagnotti Enterprises based out of Wilkes Barre.

From what I understand part of the process included a particular section of the Grafitti Highway being filled in with a barrier to keep people out. Penn Dot helped with this project by allowing their drivers "driver training" when they took loads of dirt back there to make the dirt mounds.

Its still used today by a significant number of motorcross and ATV riders to this day. It really hasn't stopped anyone that truly wants to get through
