I-476 NORTHBOUND IS CLOSED BETWEEN EXIT 95 – 115

All northbound traffic must exit at the Pocono Interchange.
The Pennsylvania Turnpike I-476 is now closed northbound between Pocono Interchange (Exit #95) and Wyoming Valley Interchange (Exit #115) to allow crews to safely remove a vehicle involved in an accident earlier today at milepost A106.5. All northbound traffic must exit at Pocono Interchange, and motorists will not be able to enter the Turnpike to travel northbound at Wilkes Barre (Exit #105).

Motorists exiting at the Pocono Interchange can use the following detour to return to the Turnpike: Take Route I-80 west (16 miles) Route I-81 north (26 miles) to State Route 315 north (5 miles). This will bring you to the Wyoming Valley Interchange.

The detour is expected to remain in place until approximately 5 p.m. today. Motorists should expect delays and seek an alternate route.
