High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The freeways of Akron, Ohio include two major interstate highways, one interstate spur, two Ohio State routes and one U.S. Highway. Akron is served by two major Interstates that bisect the city. Unlike other cities, the bisection does not occur in the Central Business District, nor do the Interstates serve the downtown region, rather The Akron Innerbelt and to a much lesser extent Ohio State Highway 8 serve these functions. Interstate 77 connects Marietta, Ohio to Cleveland, Ohio. It features 15 interchanges, four of which permit freeway to freeway movements. It runs north south at the southern part of the city to its concurrency with Interstate 76 (east) where it takes a westerly turn and after the concurrency takes a northwest turn. The cosigned section is highly congested and under review by the Ohio Department of Transportation.
