The Ohio Turnpike (officially the James W Shocknessy Ohio Turnpike) is a -long Limited-access toll highway in the U The Schuylkill Expressway, locally known simply as the Schuylkill, is a Freeway through southeastern Montgomery County and the city of Philadelphia By 1955, the section of that route from west of Youngstown to downtown Philadelphia was included in the planned Interstate Highway System, as was present I-76 from west of Youngstown to Akron. Youngstown is a city in the US state of Ohio and the County seat of Mahoning County. Philadelphia (ˌfɪləˈdɛlfiə Akron is a city in the US state of Ohio and the County seat of Summit County.

State Route 14, located in northeastern Ohio, runs from US Route 6 / U )
In 1957 the route from Cleveland east to Harrisburg, running roughly along the State Route 14 corridor in Ohio and the Turnpike in Pennsylvania, was labeled Interstate 80, and the rest of the route from Harrisburg to Philadelphia was assigned Interstate 80S.

However, the 1957 numbering was drawn on a map from 1947, which did not include several changes that had been approved, specifically the Keystone Shortway across Pennsylvania. History corridor now served by I-80 was originally to be a branch of the Pennsylvania Turnpike from Sharon to Stroudsburg. (The route in that corridor ran further north, along U.S. Route 6, and was numbered Interstate 84. US Route 6, also called the Grand Army of the Republic Highway, is a main route of the U Interstate 84 (abbreviated I-84) is an Interstate highway extending from Dunmore Pennsylvania (near Scranton Pennsylvania) at an intersection ) Thus, the final numbering, approved in 1958, assigned I-80 to the Norwalk-Youngstown route to reach the Keystone Shortway. The former alignment through Cleveland became Interstate 80N; the Turnpike was still not assigned a number from near Elyria (where I-80N and I-90 would split from it) to west of Youngstown.

Cleveland is a City in the US state of Ohio and the County seat of Cuyahoga County, the most populous county in the state However, while I-80N was planned to split from I-80 near Kent and run northwest to Cleveland along State Route 14, the new alignment of I-80 used the Turnpike between the crossing west of Youngstown and the crossing with State Route 14 at Streetsboro.
