Interstate 676 (abbreviated I-676) is an interstate highway that serves as a major thoroughfare through Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where it is known as the Vine Street Expressway, and Camden, New Jersey, where it is known as the northern segment of the North-South Freeway, as well as the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Highway. Its western terminus is at Interstate 76 in Philadelphia near the Philadelphia Museum of Art. From there it heads east towards the Ben Franklin Bridge. [cite web|url=http://maps.google.com/maps?client=firefox-a&ie=UTF8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&channel=s&q=&om=1&ll=39.95903,-75.156097&spn=0.044737,0.080338&z=14|title=I-676 in PA|accessdate=2007-06-06|work=Google] On the east (New Jersey) side of the bridge, the highway heads south to its southern terminus at Interstate 76 in Gloucester City, New Jersey near the Walt Whitman Bridge. [cite web|url=http://maps.google.com/maps?client=firefox-a&ie=UTF8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&channel=s&q=&om=1&ll=39.903876,-75.116315&spn=0.022386,0.040169&z=15|title=Southern terminus of I-676|accessdate=2007-06-06|work=Google]

Originally, the designation for this stretch of highway was Interstate 80S, with Interstate 680 continuing on the Schuylkill Expressway to the Walt Whitman Bridge.cite map|publisher=PennDOT|title=Pennsylvania State Transportation|url=ftp://ftp.dot.state.pa.us/public/pdf/BPR_pdf_files/Maps/Statewide/Historic_OTMs/1960bk.pdf|year=1960|section=2|accessdate=2007-06-06] But on April 16, 1963, Pennsylvania wanted to renumber its Interstate numbers. Part of this was the renumbering from I-80S into I-76, and all of its auxiliary routes into I-x76. The FHWA approved the request on February 26, 1964.cite web|url=http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/infrastructure/i76.htm|title=Was I-76 Numbered to Honor Philadelphia for Independence Day, 1776?|publisher=Federal Highway Administration|date= 2005-01-18|work=Ask the Rambler|accessdate=2007-06-06] However, the Philadelphia portion of the highway was not open to traffic until January 10, 1991.
