The closure remained in place at 6 a.m. Westbound drivers were forced off the road before I-676.
The road finally reopened shortly before 6:40 a.m.
Police had also blocked drivers from accessing westbound I-76 from westbound I-676, that caused all those drivers to get onto the eastbound I-76 ramp to 30th Street Station.
