\nOctober 1, 2013:<\/strong> A grammatically incorrect “Ends 480” in northeastern Ohio sign is placed just south of the Ohio Turnpike, but drivers must exit and travel a short connector to reach I-80.<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s not possible to travel the entire distance of Interstate 480 in Ohio without paying for it \u2014 at least, if you want a full clinch according to the Clinched Highway Mapping website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Although there are four-lane roads that continue from almost<\/em> either end of the interstate, you have to get on\/off the Ohio Turnpike to see I-480’s start\/end points. On the west end, it’s a true partial interchange (off I-80 eastbound, onto I-80 westbound) with a nearby merge\/split from the OH 10 freeway just to the east. On the east end, as seen above, OH 14 continues but I-480 travelers must use a short connector that includes the toll plaza. (The “Ends” may be good enough for the layman, but not the roadgeek.)<\/p>\n

Ohio and Iowa-Nebraska have the only I-480 interstates in the country. The one in Ohio is the longest child route of I-80 east of the Mississippi River. It skirts the very southernmost part of official Cleveland city limits while I-80 stays far away. It also has a secret spur, not signed on maps or BGSs, officially called “I-480N” that connects to I-271.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
