The (mostly) toll-free portion of I-78 from the Pennsylvania border to I-95. I say mostly, because you have to pay a toll to enter Pennsylvania.
I-78 crosses the Delaware River on a fairly unassuming bridge bypassing Easton and Phillipsburg. This bridge is angled because I-78 takes a swing to the south to bypass the small borough of Alpha.
I-78 through Bethlehem, NJ. This is the rock blasting site I visited.

Exit 26 for Rattlesnake Bridge Road is signed for a county route that doesn't exist anymore. CR 523 Spur has been decommissioned, but NJDOT somehow still acknowledges it in this new sign.
I-78 going through the Watchung Mountains.
The interchange with NJ 124 (eastbound exit, westbound entrances) was built for the cancelled I-278 western extension. The westbound local lanes have a bulge where the I-278 ramp should have entered, and those lanes pass over NJ 124 while the rest of I-78 ducks under NJ 124.

Exit 52 was reconstructed in the 2010s to provide full access between I-78 and the Garden State Parkway.
