Interstate 176 (abbreviated I-176) is a spur route of eastern Interstate 76 in Pennsylvania. Interstate 176 travels from Morgantown, Pennsylvania to Reading, Pennsylvania; the entire length of the highway is just over 11 miles. 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.
