Overhead
1 mile advance exit sign for OH 65/Front St. (Exit 9) on I-280 North,
situated in front of the OH 2/Navarre Ave. overpass. From OH 2
north to I-75, in tandem with construction of the Veterans' Glass City
Skyway, I-280 was widened from four to six lanes between 2002 and 2007.
As a part of this, new "tubular" style gantries and half-gantries,
commonly used in the Southwestern U.S. but not so much in this part of
the country, were installed to support overhead signage along this
stretch of the freeway. |

guide signage identifying that the Port Authority Docks are accessible

View
looking southerly along the approach to the cable-stayed bridge that
carries I-280 over the Maumee River and the nearby vicinity. These
wintertime photos of this structure don't really do it justice...both the skyway and the City of Toledo are much more photogenic during
the summertime than in the middle of January. |

Sign
gantry on I-280 at the Manhattan Blvd. interchange (Exit 12). Just
before the Manhattan Blvd. overpass in the background, the leftmost lane
will split off for I-75 South. Most traffic is bound for I-75
North, so the right two lanes are accessible for that maneuver.
Note that this signage for I-75 South also denotes I-475, which I-75
meets 3 miles to the southwest of the I-280 interchange. Also,
note that there is no control destination for I-75 South, while Detroit
is used for I-75 North. |

ramps to I-75 South and I-75 North, respectively, immediately prior to
the Manhattan Blvd. overpass. Note that, unlike the previous sign
for I-75 South, this one does not include a TO I-475 reference. |
