Interstate 80 (I-80) in the US state ofOhio runs across the northern part of the state. Most of the route is part of theOhio Turnpike; only an 18.78-mile (30.22 km) stretch is not part of the toll road. That stretch of road is the feeder route to theKeystone Shortway, a shortcut through northernPennsylvania that provides access toNew York City.

InOhio, I-80 enters with I-90 from theIndiana Toll Road and immediately becomes the Ohio Turnpike. The two Interstates cross rural northwest Ohio and run just south of theToledo metropolitan area. InRossford, the turnpike intersects withI-75 in an area known as the Crossroads of America.
InElyria Township, Lorain County, just west ofCleveland, I-90 splits from I-80 (leaving the turnpike and running northeast as a freeway). I-80 runs east-southeast through the southern suburbs of Cleveland and retains the Ohio Turnpike designation. Just northwest ofYoungstown, the Ohio Turnpike continues southeast ontoI-76, while I-80 exits the turnpike and runs east to the north of Youngstown, entering Pennsylvania south ofSharon, Pennsylvania.
I-80 was constructed as part of the Ohio Turnpike (with the exception of modern I-76 andI-480), the origins of which predate the establishment of theInterstate Highway System in 1956. TheOhio General Assembly created theOhio Turnpike Commission in 1949, which was the first step in designing and constructing the east–west freeway. Construction began on October 27, 1952, and the freeway was completed on October 1, 1955 (a total of 38 months).[2]
Although I-80 presently uses the Ohio Turnpike across most of the state, it was once planned to split betweenNorwalk andEdinburg Township, withI-80N passing throughCleveland andI-80S passing throughAkron.
