Route Description
Interstate 76 begins at an interchange with Interstate 71 east of Lodi, Ohio cosigned with US 224. The interstate travels east across Medina County before entering Summit County. In Akron, Interstate 76 runs concurrently with Interstate 77 for approximately 3 miles before it becomes its own road again. Interstate 76 continues east through the Akron suburbs and runs a rural route to just west of Youngstown, where it intersects with Interstate 80 and the Ohio Turnpike. Interstate 76 eastbound traffic exits the freeway alignment to join the Ohio Turnpike. Travelers who remain on the freeway alignment transfer to Interstate 80 which leads through the northern Youngstown suburbs and into Pennsylvania via the Keystone Shortway. Interstate 76 travels southeast once joining the Ohio Turnpike as it directly connects to the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
As of 2010, the toll to travel the Interstate 76 portion of the Ohio Turnpike is $1.50. Motorists who use EZ-Pass pay a discounted rate of $1.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“By whatever means it is accomplished, the prime business of a play is to arouse the passions of its audience so that by the route of passion may be opened up new relationships between a man and men, and between men and Man. Drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us to know more, and not merely to spend our feelings.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
“The great object in life is Sensation—to feel that we exist, even though in pain; it is this “craving void” which drives us to gaming, to battle, to travel, to intemperate but keenly felt pursuits of every description whose principal attraction is the agitation inseparable from their accomplishment.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
