About OH 420

OH 420 is a two-mile long, four-lane divided expressway that serves as an extension of I-280. Plans are currently being made to convert the somewhat complex intersection with the two-lane US 20 / US 23 that marks the southern temrinus of OH 420 into an interchange. In addition, US 20 is slated to be widened to four lanes from OH 420 to the western end of the current four-lane section in Woodville, a distance of approximately six miles.

Southern Terminus

	The southern terminus of OH 420 is at a somewhat complex intersection with US 20 / US 23 in Lemoyne. No END signage is in place for OH 420 here. The two southbound lanes of OH 420 split in opposing directions at the intersection. The left lane heads toward US 20 East / US 23 South, while the right lane leads to US 20 West / US 23 North.

	Here is the first OH 420 North reassurance marker, accompanied by a bevy of TO shields for I-80, I-90, and I-280. (PHOTO # 2: Dan Garnell \| February 6, 2003)
	Signage on US 20 East / US 23 South on the approach to the start of OH 420 North suggests the importance of the short expressway, as the JCT OH 420 marker is complemented by TO markers for I-80, I-90, and I-280. (PHOTO # 3: Sean Lyons \| September 29, 2002)
	A similar array of signs appears on US 20 West / US 23 North as it nears the southern terminus of OH 420, except that instead of TO I-80 and TO I-90 shields, there is a TO OHIO TURNPIKE marker alongside the JCT OH 420 and TO I-280 shields. (PHOTO # 4: Dan Garnell \| August 21, 2002)
	This sign gantry stands on US 20 West / US 23 North as OH 420 splits off. Traffic using OH 420 North can keep moving, but traffic continuing on US 20 West / US 23 North must stop and wait for OH 420 South to clear before moving on. (PHOTO # 5: Dan Garnell \| February 6, 2003)

Northern Terminus

	The northern terminus of OH 420 is at I-80 / I-90 (Exit 71), the Ohio Turnpike, north of Lemoyne. Upon crossing the Turnpike, OH 420 turns into I-280. (PHOTO # 1: Sean Lyons \| September 1, 2002)
	The previous photo shows a gantry with a sign that denotes that OH 420 ends and I-280 begins in the northbound direction. A like sign truss is in place in the southbound direction as OH 420 picks up where I-280 leaves off. The bridge right behind the gantry carries the Ohio Turnpike over the transition between I-280 and OH 420. (PHOTO # 2: Sean Lyons \| September 1, 2002)
	Just a few hundred feet south of the I-80 / I-90 interchange, OH 420 has a signalized intersection with Libbey Road, which serves the truck stops that are located at the interchange. Just after Libbey Road is the first trailblazer for OH 420 South. (PHOTO # 3: Sean Lyons \| September 29, 2002)
	One mile before the I-280 / OH 420 interchange on I-80 / I-90 West, there is this overhead signage in place. At the time this photo was shot, the Ohio Turnpike Commission was in the midst of a transition from sequential exit numbers to mileage-based exit numbers. This is why two exit number tabs are attached to the sign here. However, as of September 2002, all sequential exit number tabs were removed. (PHOTO # 4: Jeff Kitsko \| June 8, 2002)
