While I-71 crosses I-80 there is no interchange between the two so there is no direct way from one highway to the other. If you are eastbound on I-80 and want to go south on I-71 it's not too bad, exiting I-80 at Boston Heights route 8 north to I-271 then I-271 South to I-71, but anything else is a real detour.

I'm looking at a map of Sacramento, and it looks like I-80 branches and becomes two roads when it goes through Sacramento, and both roads are labeled I-80 with no suffixes. Any idea what the situation is there? Ckape 04:01, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)
For what its worth, under "Related Highways" it says "Part of Interstate 80 in Nebraska is known as the Blue Star Memorial Highway". Many portions of I-80 are actually designated as Blue Star Memorial Highways, not just in Nebraska. For example, there is such a sign at the western end of I-80 in San Francisco at the 5th Street off ramp. I know also that portions in New Jersey are likewise so designated. I suspect portions in other states are so designated as well, although I don't know from personal experience. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.202.176.99 ( talk • contribs) 15:03, 9 July 2005 (UTC)
I have driven all of I-80 except for a few miles in New Jersey. I used to drive across Wyoming before I-80 existed and when it was a two-lane hiway. You can still see pieces of that old hiway and at least one old bridge from the interstate. I used to average 45-50 MPH across the state, now I average 70+. If you can imagine driving across Wyoming at 50 MPH you can understand how amazing the interstate system seems to those of us who drove around this country before it existed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.157.37.27 ( talk • contribs) 02:18, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

Does anyone have other photos of I-80, perhaps much or somewhat further east than those now on the page? They're fine, but they're both from the first 100 westward miles of a 3,000 mile-long interstate, so not all that representative of the roadway as a whole. Moncrief 04:55, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
I believe that Interstate 238 in California should be listed as a child of Interstate 80. Every source I have read indicates that Interstate 238 was a child route of 80 but was not given the usual x80 numbering as no numbers were available. As such I believe this should be listed in the Auxiliary Route table and in the Related Routes section. -- Clubjuggle 17:50, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
It shouldn't matter if it's officially a child of I-80 - just put a sentence or two about it in that section. -- SPUI ( talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 07:44, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
Given the exit numbers, it is 205 miles. But FHWA says 199.24. [3] says that it is no longer an Interstate west of unbuilt I-280, but that only takes off about 1.5 miles. Bah. -- SPUI ( talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 11:12, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
Pittsburgh has been deleted from the list of cities along I-80, Pittsburgh is a much along I-80 as Cleveland, New York and Oakland. Two metropolitan Pittsburgh counties have I-80 run through them. Interstate 80 is part of the Pittsburgh census defined metro area. Hholt01 20:24, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

There are two junctions listed in the article that do not exist. Both are where Interstate 80 is running on the Ohio Turnpike. These are: Interstate 475 near Maumee, OH, and Interstate 271 in Peninsula, OH. In both cases, Interstate 80 crosses the other freeway but doesn't intersect it, i.e. there are no ramps between the two, just the bridge. I will just delete both junctions unless someone comes up with a better idea. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.211.250.18 ( talk • contribs) 19:31, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
I added the PA Turnpike junction - while I-476 would not be a major junction, the fact that it is part of the PA Turnpike justifies this placement.

As there are state-specific sections with their own articles, as well as numerous loops and spurs, am I the only one thinking that I-80 should have its own sub-category with the existing Interstate Highway System category? Ranma9617 22:48, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Image:New Jersey Turnpike Shield.svg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

At some point somebody stuck a merger tag to bring Auxiliary routes of Interstate 80 into this article.
That picture says "western end of I-80" but that's misleading. This picture appears to be ON US 101 going ONTO the beginning of I-80. Someone should change the wording. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.24.60.12 ( talk) 03:33, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
If you look at this map, although the interchange is right near the border between Teaneck and Ridgefield Park (the dotted line near the bottom of the map), I-80 itself crosses completely out of Ridgefield Park and so, although some ramps cross back into Ridgefield Park, it can't be the terminus of I-80. I've changed the couple of places where it still says Ridgefield Park in the article back to Teaneck accordingly. — Cleared as filed. 12:59, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
I used to live in Leonia NJ and it seems that I80 ended at the GW Bridge which is in Fort Lee. Saltysailor ( talk) 22:52, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
There is, IMHO, zero chance that the mile markers are coincidence after 80 ends and you are on 95. They are accurate to within .1 miles. I don't have a citation to cite but I know what the mile markers are and it is absurd to claim that they match perfectly with a non-existant highway. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.212.89.240 ( talk) 21:00, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
I notice that there's very little on this page about the history of I-80 (when construction began along various sections, when opened, etc). As we're dealing with Wikipedia, rather than WikiAtlas, it seems to me that the history is at least as significant as information much of which could as easily be extracted from Google Maps (or any reasonable Atlas).
Trivial Google search has turned up information on the history of some sections, but not of I-80 overall. If anyone can point me to other sources, I'd be more than happy to update the page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Colonel Mayfair ( talk • contribs) 21:34, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

"This intersection is one of the largest intersections of two Interstate Highways in the United States."
I'm not QUITE sure how to reword this, given that in this area the Ohio Turnpike is carrying TWO interstate routes (I-80, I-90). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.94.52.3 ( talk) 19:59, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

Also in the section on New Jersey, a section built in 1958 is stated to be one of the oldest sections of Interstate high way build in the United States. This is not even close to being true. Sections of Interstate 80 between Greater Chicago and Youngstown, Ohio (mostly tolled sections) are even older, as are some segments in the San Francisco Bay Area as approaches to the original Bay Bridge (which has since been partially rebuilt). That is before I even mention the original route of the Pennsylvania Toll Road and some bridges and their approaches in Greater New York City. Significant portions of the Interstate Highway System were built before the Interstate Highway System was even legislated into existence.

The odd thing with I-95/NJTP in between US 46 and I-80 is that, despite it seeming like an express-local roadway configuration, the express roadway of northbound and local roadway of SB is actually exclusive to I-80, meaning that when the Western and Eastern spurs of the turnpike merge some miles south of I-80, the express NB path is exclusively for those heading to I-80 westbound with no exits for US-46 (yet a NB entrance from 46) or I-95 at the actual junction, and the SB local roadway is all vehicles coming from I-80 east, with an exit to 46.
My point is, because I-80 has direct access to and from US 46 due to how the NJTA set this area up, US 46 should also be included as a highway that I-80 ends at in its eastern terminus. Since drivers going from I-80 east, southbound to US-46 don’t actually merge with drivers from I-95 at the GW Bridge/Fort Lee, and same for the opposite, it should be included as such in the infobox. In the infobox for US 46, I-80 is also listed as a major direct junction alongside 95/TP, so the same should happen here. Jason Ingtonn ( talk) 00:40, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
