From a former resident of the Delaware Valley who grew up wanting to be a civil engineer: If you ever re-mix this video: 1. Around timestamp 6:40, although originally called the Vine Street Expressway, is now officially the Vine Expressway and commonly called "The Vine". 2. Around timestamp 7:40, the photo of the Schuykill River shows the old configuration of the I-676 to I-76 ramps. The photo shows the ramp to I-76 East as a left lane exit while your video shows the current configuration of the ramp to I-76 as a right lane exit. Enjoyed your video!

I take 95 south from Philly to Delaware for shopping and no sales tax. One most the most cool parts about the drive I can take the Platt Bridge to 95 or travel on broad street going past the stadiums and the Eagles practice facility. When I get on the highway I turn my music up and windows down enjoying the ride. Thanks Freewayjim you the coolest!!!

I'm too nervous to drive the highway (even though I'm in my 30s) because of the maniacs on the road. They're nuts on the street here in Philly and multiply that by 3 x the speed limit on 95 and ... no thanks. If you handled 95 and 676 and got out in one piece, you are a PRO, my friend!

In my opinion, especially west of and in Center City during rushhour, I-76 (aka "The Schuylkill Expressway") has the worst congestion issues of all major highways in Philadelphia

@Freewayjim12 жыл бұрын
Look at the design, there is not another interchange like it anywhere, plus it involves interaction with surface streets, the ramps between I-76 and I-95 are not all direct connections, which is very odd for an interstate to interstate connection.

If you ask me, they should re-route 95 from Delaware right into the NJ Turnpike... what's currently I-95 into Philly should be rebranded as 295-W before crossing the Delaware River into Jersey, and then that part should be 295-E, running from there, and joining 95 across the river back to the split where 95, 295, and 495 all meet.

That's what you took from this video? "I-76" is a perfectly acceptable abbreviation for "Interstate 76", it is used in news stories and most media outlets and even on road signs in other parts of the country. Now if this were California it would be "The 76".
