Interstate 176
Interstate 176 (I-176) is a spur route of eastern I-76 in Berks County, Pennsylvania. I-176, known locally as the Morgantown Expressway, travels from I-76 (Pennsylvania Turnpike) in Morgantown north to U.S. Route 422 (US 422) in Cumru Township in Berks County, a suburban township just outside the city of Reading; the entire length of the highway is just over 11 miles (18 km). The highway was originally known as Interstate 180 (I-180) or the "Reading Spur" when the Pennsylvania Turnpike was part of I-80S but was redesignated to its present-day number in 1964 when I-80S became I-76.
