Interchange notability[edit]

In conjunction with the discussion at USRD talk, I'm commenting on notability in my opinion of Turnpike interchanges (see notes column below).

County	Location	mi	km	Old exit	New exit	Destinations	Notes
Williams	Northwest	0.0	0.0			I-80 / I-90 / Indiana Toll Road
		2.0	3.2	—	—	SR 49	Added interchange - notable
		2.7	4.3	Westgate Toll Barrier
		4	6.4	Westgate Toll Barrier (under construction)
	Holiday City	13.5	21.7	2	13	SR 15 / US 20A	Alt. 20 did not originally run here - only notable in the Alt. 20 article
	Brady	20.8	33.5	Indian Meadow Service Plaza (westbound) Tiffin River Service Plaza (eastbound)
Fulton	Franklin	25.5	41.0	2A	25	SR 66	Added interchange - notable
	Dover	34.9	56.2	3	34	SR 108	Not notable
	Pike	39.8	64.1	3B	39	SR 109	Added interchange - notable
Lucas	Monclova	49.0	78.9	Oak Openings Service Plaza (westbound) Fallen Timbers Service Plaza (eastbound)
		49.0	78.9	Toll Barrier (under construction)
		52.6	84.7	3A	52	SR 2	Added interchange - notable
	Maumee	59.5	95.8	4	59	US 20 to I-475 / US 23	Nothing notable about interchange; access route to I-475/US-23 changed when Salisbury Rd interchange opened on that highway, possibly notable on the 475 article but not the Turnpike one
Wood	Rossford	64.9	104.4	4A	64	I-75	Added interchange - especially notable due to the three interstates
Wood	Lake	71.7	115.4	5	71	I-280 north / SR 420 south	Interchange completely rebuilt and slightly reconfigured, but not notable due to being in the same basic footprint
Ottawa	Harris	76.9	123.8	Blue Heron Service Plaza (westbound) Wyandot Service Plaza (eastbound)
Ottawa	Harris	81.8	131.6	5A	81	SR 51	Added interchange - notable
Sandusky	Sandusky	91.6	147.4	6	91	SR 53	53 interchange replaced by roundabout in 2021; probably not notable on its own, but looks like it was part of the same project to modernize the toll collection
Sandusky	Riley	100.0	160.9	Erie Islands Service Plaza (westbound) Commodore Perry Service Plaza (eastbound)
Erie	Groton	110.2	177.3	6A	110	SR 4	Added interchange - notable
Erie	Milan	118.5	190.7	7	118	US 250	Not notable
Lorain	Brownhelm	135.9	218.7	7A	135	To SR 2	Added interchange - notable
	Amherst	139.5	224.5	Middle Ridge Service Plaza (westbound) Vermilion Valley Service Plaza (eastbound)
	Amherst	140.6	226.3	7B	140	SR 58	Added interchange - notable
	Elyria	142.8	229.8	8A	142	I-90 east / SR 2	Added interchange when this section of I-90 opened - notable
	Elyria	145.5	234.2	8	145	SR 57	Provides missing movements for Exit 142
	N Ridgeville	151.8	244.3	9A	151	I-480 east	Added interchange when I-480 opened - notable
	N Ridgeville	152.2	244.9	9	152	To SR 10	Provides missing movements for Exit 151; signed designation of SR-10 differs from actual designation of SR-10C due to the former being located
Cuyahoga	Strongsville	161.8	260.4	10	161	I-71 / US 42	New connector to I-71 was built when I-71 opened and existing interchange was altered to connect to the new connector - likely no need to note, though
Cuyahoga	Broadview Hts	170.1	273.7	Great Lakes Service Plaza (westbound) Towpath Service Plaza (eastbound)
Summit	Richfield	173.2	278.7	11	173	I-77 / SR 21	Original US-21 interchange was altered to connect to I-77; unlike I-71/US-42, probably should be noted due to the decades between I-77's completion and the connection to it
Summit	Boston Hts	180.3	290.2	12	180	SR 8	Ramps were added to the SR-8 end with SR-8's upgrade, but none to the Turnpike end so not notable
Portage	Streetsboro	187.2	301.3	13	187	I-480 west / SR 14	I-480 originally used SR-14's original single overpass, the twin overpasses came later - not notable
	Shalersville	193.9	312.1	13A	193	SR 44	Added interchange - notable
	Freedom	197.0	317.0	Portage Service Plaza (westbound) Brady's Leap Service Plaza (eastbound)
Trumbull	Braceville	209.2	336.7	14	209	SR 5	Loop ramp to SR-5 eastbound altered to include T intersection - not notable

	Lordstown	215.0	346.0	14A	215	Ellsworth–Bailey Rd	Added interchange - notable
	Lordstown	216.4	348.3	14B	216	GM Parkway	Added interchange - notable
Mahoning	Jackson	218.7	352.0	15	218	I-80 east	Notable in that the original interchange to SR-18 was closed when a completely separate interchange was built at I-76/80, then partially reopened decades later to provide a new connection to what became CR-18
	Jackson	218.7	352.0	15	218	I-76 west	See above
	Beaver	232.9	374.8	16	232	SR 7	Provides missing movements for Exit 234
	Beaver	234.1	376.7	16A	234	I-680 north	Added interchange when I-680 opened - notable
	Springfield	237.2	381.7	Mahoning Valley Service Plaza (westbound) Glacier Hills Service Plaza (eastbound)
		239.1	384.8	Eastgate Toll Barrier
		241.3	388.3			I-76 Toll / Penna Turnpike

@Mapsax: notable in what sense? What are you suggesting be changed? Imzadi 1979 → 02:14, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

[EC] Notable with respect to either the reconfiguration or the addition of ramps, either from scratch or tacked on to existing ones. This is part of the continuing discussion noted above, and I'm trying to eliminate candidates which would likely be reverted if added. Mapsax (talk) 02:22, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
