Roads

Ohio Turnpike:  Officially named the James W. Shocknessy Ohio Turnpike, the Ohio Turnpike is a 241.26 mile-long, limited-access toll highway that serves as a primary route to Chicago and Pittsburgh. The turnpike runs east-west in the northern section of the state, from the Indiana Toll Road to the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

Interstate 70:  I-70 starts at Cove Fort, Utah and its terminus is in Baltimore, Maryland. The 255 miles of the highway that cross Ohio pass through Columbus, Dayton, Springfield and Cambridge.

Interstate 71:  I-71 starts in Louisville, Kentucky and its terminus is in Cleveland, Ohio. The 247 miles that run through Ohio have interchanges at the major cities of Cincinnati, Columbus, Seville, Strongville and Mansfield.

Interstate 75:  I-75 starts in Hialeah, Florida and its terminus is in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan at the Canadian border. The 211 miles that run through Ohio pass through Cincinnati, Dayton and Toledo.

Interstate 76:  The 82 miles of I-76 that run through Ohio travel from Interstate 71 south of Cleveland to the Pennsylvania state line south of Youngstown and constitute the easternmost section of the Ohio Turnpike.

Interstate 77:  I-77 starts in Columbia, South Carolina and its terminus is in Cleveland, Ohio. The 162 miles that traverse Ohio pass through the cities of Canton, Richfield, Brecksville, Independence and Akron.

Interstate 80:  I-80 enters Ohio with I-90 from the Indiana Toll Road and becomes the Ohio Turnpike. The two Interstates traverse northwest Ohio and proceed south of Toledo. In Rossford, Ohio I-80 intersects Interstate 75 forming the “Crossroads of America”, one of the largest intersections of two interstate highways in the country. I-80 later splits from I-90 and travels south of Cleveland before continuing east to the north of Youngstown, and entering Pennsylvania.

Interstate 90:  The Indiana Toll Road turns into the Ohio Turnpike as it enters Ohio where it follows the Ohio Turnpike before splitting just west of Cleveland and heading north near the shores of Lake Erie. In Cleveland, I-90 converges with traffic from Interstates 71 and 77 and passes through a section known as “Dead Man’s Curve” due to a near 90-degree turn that is responsible for a high rate of accidents.
