More I-76 and Atlantic City Expressway

[Christopher Lankenau]

I agree that the interchange is needed. It's all part of the master

plan.

;-)
I think that the cost of the shields would be miniscule compared to the

cost

of the NJTP/I-76 interchange. (One idea I have is to designate the NJTP
between exits 1 and 6 as I-695 [bypass around Philadelphia] since the

other

I-695 in New Jersey was cancelled circa 1978.) The interchange would be

at

the NSF section of the highway.

there was also a cancelled I-695 once in south Philly, the Cobbs creek
expressway

Well, it would be a north-south interstate bypass of I-95, and since I-295
and I-495 are already in the Delaware Valley (I-495 in Delaware), that
leaves I-695 and I-895. I-695 is the canceled Cobbs Creek Expressway; I-895
is the canceled Burlington-Bristol Bypass. I used I-695 since it is the
lowest available number. ;-)

It looks like I'm 20 years late, but I agree that the I-76 designation should be extended to AC. I feel like it's MORE confusing to leave it as-is with three different designations than to mark as a single route number. Wouldn't that make it less confusing? Then AC would get an interstate, which I'm sure the CVB and Chamber would favor.

Do you believe that NJ-55 should be designated as I-176 as well?

I'm thinking I-576 to at least keep a "5" in the new number, but I definitely think Route 55 should become a spur of 76 if the designation occurs. If this were in a state like North Carolina, this would have occurred years ago. Many of their four-lane highways are being upgraded to interstate designations.
