Interstate 271
From Free net encyclopedia
Image:Interstate-271.png Interstate 271 (abbreviated I-271) is a major spur highway in the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio and Akron, Ohio. The highway is officially designated the Cleveland Outerbelt East, but rarely referred to by that name.
The highway runs from a junction with I-71 in Weymouth, Ohio to I-90 in Willoughby Hills, Ohio, intersecting I-480 (and running jointly with it for a short stretch). The width varies from point to point, but is mostly four to six lanes wide south of I-480 and eight to twelve lanes wide north of I-480; there it is divided into express and local lanes.
The express lanes begin at the complex I-480 and US-422 interchange continuing northward slightly beyond the end of I-271. The northbound express lanes allow access to all exits (excluding Chagrin Boulevard, Harvard Road, and OH-175, a southbound-only exit). The southbound express lanes bypass all exits and only have one combined exit for Chagrin Boulevard (east US-422), Harvard Road, Richmond Road (OH-175) and US-422 (west) interchange.
