'''Interstate 80''' (abbreviated '''I-80''') is the second-longest
Interstate Highway in the
United States. It connects downtown
San Francisco, California to the suburbs of
New York City, just as the
Lincoln Highway did in the years before the Interstate Highway System. The highway roughly traces some historically significant travel corridors, particularly in the
Western U.S. These include the
Oregon Trail in
Nebraska and westward and the
California Trail in Nevada and
California.
The highway from near
Chicago, Illinois east to near
Youngstown, Ohio is a
toll road - the end-to-end
Indiana Toll Road and
Ohio Turnpike. At Youngstown I-80 leaves the tolled alignment, which continues towards New York as the
Pennsylvania Turnpike and
New Jersey Turnpike, in favor of the
Keystone Shortway, a shortcut across northern Pennsylvania built as part of a new corridor for I-80. The tolled route to
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was originally designated
Interstate 80S (Pennsylvania) Interstate 80S, and is now
Interstate 76 (east) Interstate 76.

Notes
Image:BlueStarHighwaySign.jpg thumbnail|right|Blue Star Memorial Highway Sign in Nebraska
Image:Davis-i80-1.640.jpg right|thumb|350px|Interstate 80 as seen from an overpass in [[Davis, California]]
The highway reaches a maximum elevation of 8,640 feet (2,633 m) above
sea level between
Cheyenne, Wyoming Cheyenne and
Laramie, Wyoming. Farther west in Wyoming, the interstate passes the
Continental Divide twice because two lines of mountains form a closed-off basin.
Among many picturesque sections of I-80 are the crossing of San Francisco Bay over the
San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge (toll paid westbound only), the traverse above
Donner Pass and
Donner Lake (near
Lake Tahoe) in California, and its run along the
Truckee River both west and east of
Reno, Nevada. Interstate 80 crosses the southern end of
Great Salt Lake west of
Salt Lake City, Utah, providing views of various mountains, although it incorporates a very long stretch of straight roadway that can induce some drivers to fall asleep.
I-80 intersects
Interstate 90 I-90 near
Elyria, Ohio and they share a route all the way to
Portage, Indiana, where I-90 splits off but I-80 then runs concurrently with
Interstate 94 I-94 until the Chicago suburb of
South Holland, Illinois. I-80 then runs concurrently with
Interstate 294 I-294 until
Markham, Illinois.
All of I-80 in
Indiana is duplexed with another interstate, such as I-90 or I-94.
Although Interstate 80 does not enter
Colorado, it does manage to come within a mile of the border between Nebraska and Colorado at the junction of Interstates 80 and 76. This intersection is visible from Colorado as one approaches it from the west on I-76.
Although it never enters
Michigan, Interstate 80 (with Interstate 90) lies within ten miles (16.1 km) of the Michigan state line between
La Porte, Indiana and
Toledo, Ohio. Looking north at the intersection of
Indiana State Highway 9 and I-80, the "Welcome to Michigan" sign is visible in the distance.
I-80 does not go all the way to
New York City via the
George Washington Bridge. Its designated end is about four miles (6.4 km) short of New York City in
Teaneck, New Jersey. There, it joins and becomes designated as
Interstate 95 I-95, which does cross the bridge. The tolled section of the
New Jersey Turnpike ends at exit 18, which is actually just the toll plaza at the northern terminus. The next exit on I-95 is exit 68, which is consistent with the exit structure on I-80. (The truth is that the exit numbers on this section of I-95 match the mile markers on I-95 had the
Somerset Freeway been built. The fact that they are similar to what the exit numbers are on I-80 is just a coincidence.)
Part of Interstate 80 in Nebraska is known as the Blue Star Memorial Highway.
The portion of 80 that goes through New Jersey is sometimes called the ''Bergen-Passaic Expressway.''
