===Ohio=== [[File:I-71SofCbus.JPG|thumb|right|Heading northbound into Columbus, Ohio]] [[File:Interstate 71 Cleveland 2016.jpg|thumb|right|Northern terminus at I-90 in Downtown Cleveland, Ohio]] In [[Cincinnati]], it splits immediately from I-75 and heads due east onto [[Fort Washington Way]], where it continues through Downtown Cincinnati [[Concurrency (road)|concurrently]] with [[U.S. Route 50 in Ohio|U.S. Route 50]] (US 50) for less than {{Convert|1|mi|km|spell=in}}. Just east of downtown, US 50 splits from I-71 and continues east; I-71 bends north and receives [[I-471]], a spur from southeast of the city. I-71 then heads in a general northeast direction through the [[Lytle Tunnel]] and urban Cincinnati and into its surrounding suburbs. After another interchange with the [[Interstate 275 (Ohio–Indiana–Kentucky)|I-275]] beltway, the freeway leaves the metropolitan area and heads toward [[Columbus, Ohio|Columbus]]. It continues northeast until it reaches [[South Lebanon, Ohio|South Lebanon]], where it begins cutting east across the flat plains of southwest Ohio. The freeway crosses the [[Little Miami River]] on the [[Jeremiah Morrow Bridge]], which is a concrete [[box girder bridge]] and the tallest bridge in Ohio, at {{Convert|239|ft|m}} above the river. I-71 heads toward Columbus then intersects with the bypass [[Interstate 270 (Ohio)|I-270]] before heading north into urban Columbus, where it intersects with [[Interstate 70 in Ohio|I-70]]. About {{One2a|{{convert|1|mi|km|spell=in}}}} north of the I-70 junction, it intersects with [[Interstate 670 (Ohio)|I-670]]. After another interchange with the I-270 bypass, the highway exits Columbus and continues north until near [[Delaware, Ohio|Delaware]], where it again turns northeast. Beginning its path to [[Cleveland]], I-71 enters the rolling farm country on the edges of the [[Allegheny Plateau]]. It continues in this fashion to [[Lodi, Ohio|Lodi]]–[[Westfield Center]] and its junction with [[Interstate 76 in Ohio|I-76]], which provides access to [[Akron]] and points east. Heading north to [[Medina, Ohio|Medina]], it meets the terminus of [[I-271]]. The highway then continues north into urban [[Cuyahoga County]] and Cleveland's suburbs, intersecting the [[Ohio Turnpike]]/[[Interstate 80 in Ohio|I-80]]. Passing [[Cleveland Hopkins International Airport]], I-71 meets [[Interstate 480 (Ohio)|I-480]] and enters Cleveland's west side, continuing on to downtown. It junctions with [[Ohio State Route 176|State Route 176]] (SR 176) and terminates at [[Interstate 90 in Ohio|I-90]] on the [[Innerbelt]].
