'''Interstate&nbsp;80''' ('''I-80''') is an east–west transcontinental [[freeway]] that crosses the United States from [[San Francisco, California]], to [[Teaneck, New Jersey]], in the [[New York metropolitan area]]. The highway was designated in 1956 as one of the original routes of the [[Interstate Highway System]]; its final segment was opened in 1986. At a length of {{convert|2,900.76|mi|km}}, it is the second-longest Interstate Highway in the United States, after [[Interstate 90|I-90]]. It runs through many major cities, including [[Oakland, California|Oakland]], [[Sacramento, California|Sacramento]], [[Reno, Nevada|Reno]], [[Salt Lake City]], [[Omaha, Nebraska|Omaha]], [[Des Moines, Iowa|Des Moines]], and [[Toledo, Ohio|Toledo]], and passes within {{convert|10|mi|km}} of [[Chicago]], [[Cleveland]], and [[New York City]].

I-80 is the Interstate Highway that most closely approximates the route of the historic [[Lincoln Highway]], the first road across the United States. The highway roughly traces other historically significant travel routes in the [[Western United States]]: the [[Oregon Trail]] across [[Wyoming]] and [[Nebraska]], the [[California Trail]] across most of [[Nevada]] and [[California]], the first transcontinental [[airmail]] route, and the route of the [[first transcontinental railroad]], except for the vicinity of the [[Great Salt Lake]].

From near Chicago east to near [[Youngstown, Ohio]], I-80 is a [[toll road]], containing most of both the [[Indiana Toll Road]] and the [[Ohio Turnpike]]. I-80 [[concurrency (road)|runs concurrently]] with I-90 from near [[Portage, Indiana]], to [[Elyria, Ohio]]. In [[Pennsylvania]], I-80 is known as the [[Interstate 80 in Pennsylvania|Keystone Shortway]], a non-tolled freeway that crosses rural north-central portions of the state on the way to [[New Jersey]] and New York City.
