Yeah, unfortunately 76 is narrow compared to more modern interstates. And there’s almost always construction somewhere along its length.

You might want to consider taking I-78 to 81 to 76. It’s more direct and you save some on tolls, but it won’t avoid the construction you’re worried about.

I’ve never driven on 80 past State College, but it tends to have wider shoulders, so any construction zones might not feel so much like you’re playing Gran Turismo. But it’s also good advice to slow way down in construction zones because Pa. is using speed cameras now.
