The Pennsylvania Turnpike Extension connects the New Jersey Turnpike to the Pennsylvania Turnpike and serves as a crucial connection in the Interstate Highway System. With the cancellation of the Somerset Freeway, a gap was left in I-95 that was only filled in 2018 when a direct interchange between the Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-276) and I-95 was built in Pennsylvania. This resulted in the easternmost stretch of the Pennsylvania Turnpike and the entire Pennsylvania Turnpike Extension becoming I-95.
Northbound:



The Delaware River–Turnpike Toll Bridge, a through arch bridge connecting two turnpikes.

The state line between Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Exit 6A serves as a connection between I-95 and US 130. It is only signed as EXIT, and considered EXIT 6 in terms of tolling.
All mileposts have PWE for Pennsylvania Extension. I don't know where W came from, though.
Southbound:
Look at these control cities. These indicate I-95 (Philadelphia), I-276 (start of the signed Pennsylvania Turnpike), and a destination along the Pennsylvania Turnpike (Harrisburg).
Penn Turnpike as a shortened form of Pennsylvania Turnpike. And unsigned Exit 6A for US 130.
Continue north on I-95 / New Jersey Turnpike
