Doesn’t the Blue Route already connect I-95 with I-76 (the turnpike)?

No. In that area, the turnpike is I-276. The turnpike is I-76 until the Valley Forge interchange, then you either exit onto the non-toll I-76 into Philly (aka the Schuykill Expressway) or continue on the turnpike as I-276, which eventually connects to the NJ turnpike.

The Blue Route (I-476) does connect I-76 to I-95, but at the point it connects at I-76, it is not the turnpike.

Thanks; I lived in Broomall until ‘79, the Blue Route wasn’t finished until many years later and in any case I haven’t been there in 12 years.

But the story says I-95 and the turnpike.

The only thing I can figure is that they want a new exit on the Pennsylvania branch of I-95 (currently there are exits at 352 and 358 on the turnpike - this would be a new exit at roughly mile 356)....also there are exits at mile 40 and 44 of I-95 - the new exit would be at roughly mile 41.

This is just a guess on my part.

The PA turnpike and the New Jersey branch of I-95 are already connected.
