Interstate 676

Interstate 676 is an interstate highway that serves as a major thoroughfare through Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Camden, New Jersey. Its northwestern terminus is at Interstate 76 in Philadelphia near the Philadelphia Museum of Art, heading east towards the Ben Franklin Bridge. On the east (New Jersey) side of the bridge, the highway heads south to its southeastern terminus at Interstate 76 in Gloucester City, New Jersey near the Walt Whitman Bridge.

I-676 is signed east-west in Pennsylvania but north-south in New Jersey.

Building onramps to the Ben Franklin Bridge would have effectively destroyed Franklin Square , a historically sensitive site. Therefore, traffic from I-676 or Interstate 95 to the bridge is directed through city streets, meaning that this portion of I-676 is not (and probably never will be) up to freeway standards. There does exist a direct freeway connection to Interstate 95.

Pennsylvania Department of Transportation maps show the connection to I-95 as I-676, and the bridge connection as US 30 (which is multiplexed with I-676 from its west end to downtown Camden). All signs show I-676 using the bridge.
