Known in the Philadelphia area as the "Blue Route", I-476 provides a direct connection between the Pennsylvania Turnpike Northeast Extension and Interstate 95 at Chester.

12/21/16

Interstate 476 (Mid-County Expressway) took over 30 years to construct due to compromises made for environmental and community opposition. Heavily traveled by commuters, the four to six lane freeway follows a winding course through the Philadelphia suburbs of Radnor, Broomall and Springfield among others.
