The Tuscarora Mountain tunnels measure {{Convert|1.1|mi}} in length and are the second-longest active tunnels on the Pennsylvania Turnpike system. The {{Convert|1.3|mi|km|adj=mid|-long}} Sideling Hill Tunnel is the longest overall, but was abandoned in 1968. Allegheny Mountain Tunnel is the longest in active use. The Tuscarora Mountain Tunnel sits on the Huntingdon/Franklin County line.
