History
Interstate 280 has its origins in State Route 121, which opened in 1955 as a 2×2 divided highway that served as a service road to the then newly opened Ohio Turnpike. The highway was subsequently developed as an extension of the Detroit – Toledo expressway, and was therefore part of the route from Cleveland to Detroit. In January 1957 the Robert Craig Memorial Bridge opened over the Maumee River and in about 1959 the extension opened to the Detroit – Toledo Expressway, completing the route of what would later become I-280.
The southern portion of I-280 was not completely grade separated, but had several intersections between the Ohio Turnpike and Toledo. Grade-separated intersections were constructed here in the 1970s and 1980s, although the road had been numbered Interstate 280 since at least the early 1960s, despite the presence of at-grade intersections. Part of the original 2×2 at-grade road still exists, as the road opened further south to US 20 in 1955. The section between US 20 and the Ohio Turnpike is now numbered OH-420.
Originally, I-280 transitioned smoothly into I-75 as part of the Detroit – Toledo Expressway. With the construction of I-75 through Toledo, a new interchange has been built, slightly more westerly than the original route. This part opened to traffic in 1967. The former route can still be recognized on older satellite images. The Toledo Correctional Facility was later partly built on the former route.
When I-280 was built, the Greenbelt Parkway, which would connect the highway to downtown, had already been taken into account. There were already flyovers from I-280 over what would later become the Greenbelt Parkway. The Greenbelt Parkway was only built between 1996 and 1999.
The Robert Craig Memorial Bridge was one of the last moveable bridges in the Interstate Highway system and has been replaced by the Veterans’ Glass City Skyway which opened on June 24, 2007. This was the most expensive project undertaken by the Ohio Department of Transportation at the time. With the construction of the new bridge, the exit complex on Summit Street also disappeared. The connection to Front Street has also been completely rebuilt on the south side of the bridge. With the construction of the bridge, the northernmost 6 kilometers of I-280 between OH-2 and I-75 has also been widened to 2×3 lanes.
