Interstate 176 (I-176) is a spur route of eastern Interstate 76 in Pennsylvania. I-176, known locally as the "Morgantown Expressway", travels from Morgantown, Pennsylvania to Reading, Pennsylvania; the entire length of the highway is just over . The highway was originally known as I-180 when the Pennsylvania Turnpike was designated as I-80S, but was redesignated to its present-day number in 1974 when it became I-76.

Route description

Prior to 1996, motorists wanting to get to I-176 from the Pennsylvania Turnpike (which is the same road as I-76) had to travel through Morgantown on Pennsylvania Route 10 (most of that stretch is also Pennsylvania Route 23), and then enter I-176 northbound to Reading at a traffic light, similar to that found on Interstate 70 in Breezewood. Since 1998, a replacement Pennsylvania Turnpike interchange and a new stretch of I-176 have eliminated the need to travel through Morgantown, with the old section, now a spur, still maintained as ramps leading to and from exit 2. The entire highway, except for the new direct connection, has a speed limit.

A runaway truck ramp is located just past Exit 1 eastbound.
