"Your careful consideration of furnishing further protection to various structures on the Turnpike through the medium of additional constabulary force or State troops will be highly appreciated," wrote Baird Snyder, Acting Director of the FWA. The Turnpike is policed now by 40 State Troopers. One guards each of the seven tunnels carrying the 160 mile $70,000,000 mas ter road through the Allegheny Mountains. There is a part time guard on the $500,000 new Stanton Viaduct, a 200 foot long, 60 foot high structure.
