After leaving the Pennsylvania Turnpike, I-76 uses the Schuylkill Expressway on the bank of the namesake river. This stretch of road is infamous for incredibly tight merges as well as tight left-hand exits and entrances, leading to the nickname of the "Surekill Distressway".
Right after leaving the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
I-76 junctions I-476 before the incredibly nasty Conshohocken Curve.

I-76 passes under the arches of the Manayunk Bridge, a railroad bridge converted to a trail. This connects the Manayunk neighborhood of Philadelphia with Bala Cynwyd (where I-76 is).
I-76 has a brief overlap with US 1 just as both roads enter Philadelphia. And what happened to this BGS?
See what I mean by left exit nightmare? You'll see more of these in Philly.
I-76 passes under the arches of the Pennsylvania Railroad Connecting Railway Bridge built in 1867. The road then interchanges with Girard Avenue, where I-76 picks up US 30.
I-676 starts here, and US 30 departs I-76 for I-676.
I-76 ducks under the front of 30th Street Station.
A tight left exit for South Street.
Fractional mileage to the tenths on an exit sign. While this is unconventional, the Schuylkill Expressway uses this because of how tightly spaced exits and entrances are from one another.

An example of a horrendous configuration: I-76 has to exit its own mainline to stay on the Schuylkill Expressway.
