Ohio Turnpike

From: Indiana State Line To: Pennsylvania State Line

For up-to-date details concerning construction projects, including service area renovation, new interchange construction, and the addition of the third lane from Toledo to Youngstown, see the construction page and the map page on the official Ohio Turnpike website, as well as the "News, Information, & Resolutions" option. For general information, see their official FAQ. State Highway Patrol Turnpike district (District 10) information is located here. The Ohio Revised Code includes "Turnpike Commission" (Title 55, Chapter 5537). Go here on the official site for toll rates. As for an electronic toll collection system being used, not only has it has been considered, new facilities are being built to accomodate it; however, there is no set date for any transponder system implementation (although it might be soon according to this July 3, 2005 story). In the meantime, there has been introduced "Ready Toll" card system, which is described here. See also the official FAQ and this Cleveland Plain Dealer article (Also thanks to Jeff Kitsko and Geoff Hatchard) The Turnpike also began using automatic toll collection machines in 2004 (Cleveland Plain Dealer article, July 20, 2004). Photos of various places along the Turnpike are located here. Other general information may be found at Wikipedia (be sure to double-check sources). The Turnpike just finished a conversion from consecutive exit numbers to mileage-based ones, which started in early 1998 and ended in the days after Labor Day, 2002 (see this page and this press release). I list both on this guide (new numbers first, then old ones). The present-day Turnpike is only the first of five toll highways that were planned by the Ohio Turnpike Commission. For more details, go to this page , and see the 1954 map on this page. Further inactive plans may be found here. More history is and here. The Ohio Turnpike opened on December 1, 1954, from the Pennsylvania line westward to the SR-18 interchange (today part of Exit 218, I-80/I-76/Mahoning CR-18), and on October 1, 1955, from there to just short of the Indiana line. In addition, the origin of the eastern I-76 designation and its predecessor, I-80S, which uses the Turnpike at the eastern end, is discussed on this Federal Highway Administration page. (See also the bottom of this page) Trivia: While the Ohio Turnpike is not an ODOT facility, that organization refers to the Turnpike as I-80K or I-76K (depending on the section) on its straight-line diagrams . Audiocassettes describing the Turnpike are available. Ride With Me: Ohio: I-80, may be purchased here; those produced by Museum of the Open Road are available here.
