EspañolINTERSTATE 480 (OHIO)
'Interstate 480' (abbreviated 'I-480') is a busy loop highway that connects the Ohio Turnpike (I-80) with suburban Cleveland, Ohio. The highway is officially designated the 'Outerbelt South Freeway', but rarely referred to by that name.
The western terminus is at I-80 in North Ridgeville while the eastern terminus is at I-80 in Streetsboro. The width varies from four to ten lanes wide. The entire length of I-480 is 42.97 miles (69.15 km). I-480 provides access to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport via Ohio State Route 237.

Miscellanea
The freeway is concurrent with I-271 for several miles. I-271 and I-480 are the only two three-digit interstates in the nation to be concurrent with each other. They run concurrent near Bedford Heights in Cuyahoga County.
In 1999, Ohio Governor Robert Taft designated I-480 as the John Glenn Freeway in honor of the former astronaut and United States Senator from Ohio.
The most notable portion of I-480 is the Valley View Bridge, which is 212 feet high and spans 4150 feet[1] across the Cuyahoga River valley.
Parts of I-480 were to have been I-271 and/or I-80N.[2]
