Interstate 80 runs across northern Ohio. Most of the route is part of the Ohio Turnpike, with only an 18.78 mile stretch not being on the toll road. That stretch of road is the feeder route to the Keystone Shortway, a shortcut through northern Pennsylvania that provides access to New York City.

Major cities

The officially-designated control cities are:
* Toledo, Ohio
* Cleveland, Ohio (bypassed, access via I-90 and I-480)
* Youngstown, Ohio (also via I-680)

History

Although I-80 presently uses the Ohio Turnpike across most of the state, it was once planned to split between Norwalk and Edinburg, with Interstate 80N passing through Cleveland and Interstate 80S passing through Akron.
