Interstate 80 (abbreviated '''I-80''') is the second-longest Interstate Highway in the United States . It connects downtown San Francisco, California to the suburbs of New York City , just as the Lincoln Highway did in the years before the Interstate Highway System. The highway roughly traces some historically significant travel corridors, particularly in the Western U.S. These include the Oregon Trail in Nebraska and westward and the California Trail in Nevada and California .

The highway from near Chicago, Illinois east to near Youngstown, Ohio is a Toll Road - the end-to-end Indiana Toll Road and Ohio Turnpike . At Youngstown I-80 leaves the tolled alignment, which continues towards New York as the Pennsylvania Turnpike and New Jersey Turnpike , in favor of the Keystone Shortway , a shortcut across northern Pennsylvania built as part of a new corridor for I-80. The tolled route to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was originally designated Interstate 80S , and is now Interstate 76 .
