Soon after entering Akron, I-76 exits the main freeway, which continues east as Interstate 277, onto the short Kenmore Expressway; U.S. Route 224 leaves I-76 there and continues east as a surface road after I-277 ends at Interstate 77. Shortly after heading north from the I-277 interchange, I-76 meets I-77 and again turns east, joining southbound I-77 through downtown Akron on the West Expressway. A partial interchange provides access to State Route 59, the Innerbelt, and then I-76 crosses through the Central Interchange, where I-77 goes south (on the South Expressway) and State Route 8 begins to the north (on the North Expressway); I-76 switches from the West Expressway to the East Expressway.
Leaving the Akron area, I-76 again heads through rural areas, crossing Portage County and entering Mahoning County. West of Youngstown, the freeway crosses the Ohio Turnpike. Officially I-76 ends at the Turnpike overpass and I-76K begins on the Turnpike at the overpass, with a similar change happening with Interstate 80 and I-80K (east on the freeway to Youngstown and west on the Turnpike). In reality, access between the roads is via a double trumpet connection in the northeast corner of the crossing, along which I-76 and I-80 both run in opposite directions.
The Ohio Turnpike carries I-76 starting from around Youngstown, Ohio until the Pennsylvania border.";

"From the Ohio border, the Pennsylvania Turnpike carries I-76 into and across most of Pennsylvania, bypassing all major cities - Youngstown to the south, Pittsburgh to the north and Harrisburg to the south.
At Valley Forge, northwest of Philadelphia, I-76 leaves the Turnpike to run into Philadelphia on the Schuylkill Expressway, while Interstate 276 continues east on the Turnpike. Immediately after exiting, I-76 interchanges with the U.S. Route 202 and U.S. Route 422 freeways, and then crosses Interstate 476 and begins running along the southwest shore of the Schuylkill River. Interchanges provide access to the Roosevelt Expressway (U.S. Route 1) and Vine Street Expressway (Interstate 676); the latter runs through downtown Philadelphia while I-76 bypasses to the south.
The last interchange before the Walt Whitman Bridge over the Delaware River into New Jersey is with Interstate 95. Some of the ramps involve traffic signals, as the ramps to I-95 were retrofitted into an existing interchange when I-95 was built, and the toll booth for the bridge lies west of the crossing of the two roads.";
$desc_list[4] =
"Just after crossing the river, I-76 turns south along the North-South Freeway, which carries Interstate 676 north to downtown Camden; the unsigned Route 76C connector runs east to U.S. Route 130 and Route 168. The exit numbers in New Jersey are backwards, running from east to west.
From the I-676 interchange to the end, I-76 originally had local and express lanes in both directions, but the eastbound barrier has been removed, and now the separation is westbound only. I-76 ends at an interchange with Interstate 295 on the Mount Ephraim/Bellmawr town line, where the local/express split begins heading westbound. Route 42 continues south on the North-South Freeway, feeding into the Atlantic City Expressway to Atlantic City. While the South Jersey Transportation Authority (which owns the ACE) is not against the idea of making Route 42 and the ACE an eastern extension of I-76, they feel that making the change without a compelling reason would only add to motorists' confusion in southern New Jersey.";
