Interstate 70 is one of the country's most important arterials running in an east-west direction. It leaves the Pennslyvania Turnpike in
Pittsburgh passing through
Wheeling, WV,
Columbus,
Indianapolis,
St Louis,
Kansas City, MO and
Denver before reaching its western terminus at

Salt Lake City.
In Ohio, the highway stretches about 225 miles intersecting with I-77 in eastern Ohio near Cambridge, passes through Zanesville, Hebron (just north of Buckeye Lake), Columbus (where it intersects with I-270 and I-71), continues just south of Springfield, through northern Dayton, exiting the state near New Paris.
