Drivers who use the westbound Pennsylvania Turnpike in Montgomery County had to plan on a different route Tuesday morning.
The westbound lanes between Mid-County (Exit 334) and Valley Forge (326) were closed for hours due to some sort of incident.
The turnpike's twitter account called the long closure that last past 7 a.m. an "emergency detour."

"I-276 west remains closed from Mid-County to Valley Forge Exit #326," the turnpike tweeted just before 6 a.m. "Traffic using I-476 south may now exit onto I-276 west. Traffic on I-276 west must use I-476 south to I-76 west and can re-enter the Turnpike at Valley Forge Exit #326.
It wasn't immediately clear if anyone was injured in the incident.
