[edit] Miscellanea

The freeway is concurrent with I-271 for several miles. I-271 and I-480 are the only two three-digit interstates in the nation to be concurrent with each other. They run concurrent near Bedford Heights in Cuyahoga County.

In 1999, Ohio Governor Robert Taft designated I-480 as the John Glenn Freeway in honor of the former astronaut and United States Senator from Ohio.

The most notable portion of I-480 is the Valley View Bridge, which is 212 feet high and spans 4150 feet[1] across the Cuyahoga River valley.

Parts of I-480 were to have been I-271 and/or I-80N.[2]
