75, I-75 Traverses
the United States in an almost perfect north south path from Florida to
Michigan. Starting just outside Miami Florida it follows roughly
equivalent to the path of a few older at road grade highways including
U.S. Rote 2, 27, 25, 41 and the Old Dixie Highway.
This 1786 mile
limited access highway planned in the 1950s, was completed in 1986 but
the last stretch into Miami-Dade county to receive its I-75 signage was
Alligator Alley in 1993.
I-75 intersects with
Interstate 74 in Cincinnati, Ohio - Interstate 70 in Vandalia, Ohio
(near Dayton) - Interstate 80 and Interstate 90 in Perrysburg, Ohio
(near Toledo). Its small portion of mileage through Ohio of 211 miles
includes three spur roads Toledo (I-475), Dayton (I-675) and Cincinnati
(I-275).
I-475 (aligned with
route 23) is a Toledo By-pass taking you in a westerly then northern
direction around the bottom of the city of Toledo. North of center city
Toledo finds another (non route 23 aligned) I-475 spur that connects the
inner city with the route 23 aligned spur that runs north into Michigan.
Dayton’s I-675 is an integral part of its connection to I-70. Traffic
coming from or going to easterly destinations from center city can take
the I-675 spur for a fast and less trafficked way to I-70. Without it
traffic heading to East I-70 would be dumped in with the northbound I-75
traffic and create quite a mass moving through downtown Dayton. I-675 is
strategically placed to serve as a efficient cattle chute.
I-275, at 84 miles, is the longest, continuous circular Beltway in the
United States. While it serves the I-75 corridor through Cincinnati,
Ohio, it traverses the three states of Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. Known
officially as the Donald H. Rolf Circle Freeway, it is called “two
seventy five” by the locals, who use it daily to keep traffic flowing
around the Cincinnati area and its 38 exits.
