Interstate 70 (I-70) in the US state of Ohio provides access between Indiana and West Virginia. I-70 is a major highway for traffic within, to, from, and through Ohio. The highway is a core roadway of the Columbus metropolitan area and is of additional importance in the Dayton metropolitan area.
Route description
Along its path through Ohio, I-70 passes through the following counties: Preble, Montgomery, Clark, Madison, Franklin, Fairfield, Licking, Muskingum, Guernsey, and Belmont. As an Interstate Highway, by default, I-70 is a part of the National Highway System, a network of highways deemed most important for the country's economy, mobility, and defense.[2]

Western Ohio
I-70's first exit within Ohio is in New Westerville, just south of New Paris. The exit is only accessible eastbound, and traffic going on to I-70 using the exit-only enters westbound lanes. I-70 goes on to pass Gettysburg before making two exits near Lewisburg, one at a junction with US 127 and another near downtown Lewisburg. I-70 also makes an exit in Brookville and runs concurrent with State Route 49 (SH 49) for just under 1.5 miles (2.4 km) before SH 49 continues to the southeast.
At this point, I-70 comes its closest to Dayton and primarily serves rural suburbs. Within the northern Dayton section of I-70, a separate series of ramps serves traffic to Dayton International Airport before entering a major intersection with I-75 just south of Vandalia. From there, I-70 continues to serve northern Dayton suburbs and also junctions the SH 4 expressway, which runs concurrent with I-70 between Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and Enon, and I-675, a bypass route of Downtown Dayton.

I-70 is also the only major expressway within the Zanesville area and bisects the central business district and serves the area with exits to both the central business district and Zanesville Municipal Airport. Once I-70 passes outside of Zanesville, the road connects with Norwich and New Concord, the latter of which also includes Muskingum University and the John and Annie Glenn Museum.

In St. Clairsville, I-70 connects with the Ohio Valley Mall and is less than 10 miles (16 km) from Wheeling, West Virginia. Eastbound traffic can either continue on I-70 toward Wheeling's central business district or use I-470 as a bypass of Wheeling. I-70 itself serves a few more exits in Wheeling's western area before crossing the Fort Henry Bridge and the state line into downtown Wheeling.

In February 2013, an 11.18-mile (17.99 km) segment of I-70 traveling through Franklin, Fairfield, and Licking counties was named by the National Asphalt Pavement Association as the winner of the 2012 Sheldon G. Hayes Award for the best asphalt pavement in the country.[7][8]
