The abandoned highway, formerly part of Pennsylvania Route 61, closed to the public in 1993, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. It was shut down due to damage caused by the continuously burning Centralia underground coal mine fire.

The road is privately owned by Pagnotti Enterprises, but continues to draw visitors. Some admire the graffitti, while others ride dirt bikes and ATVs. Graffiti Highway is a cultural landmark for many Pennsylvanians — a reminder of how beautiful things can arise from awful situations.

The owners of Graffiti Highway closed the site earlier this month, covering it with between 8,000 and 10,000 tons of dirt, the highway will become a field filled with trees and flowers, eliminating all of the creative graffiti and attractive imagery.

Thanks for watching.
