A disused tunnel on a former alignment of State Route 93 in Ironton, Ohio. It’s not open to traffic anymore, but I guess they use it as some kind of tourist attraction, because there’s a big banner on one side that says “HAUNTED TUNNEL” and on the other side there’s a parking area and a gate with signs about admission prices.
(Technically this is a former alignment of State Route 75, not State Route 93. The road was called State Route 75 when the tunnel was bypassed by the current road, but after that it was changed to State Route 93 when Interstate 75 was built on the opposite side of the state.)

The highway to Ravenswood, West Virginia. That’s the town I stole my name from!!
Barges along the Ohio River, as viewed from a scenic lookout on Ohio State Route 7.
Every public highway rest area in Ohio has this sign by the trash cans, and I really want to know what the story behind them is.

We briefly departed from I-70 in Zanesville…
…to get a view of the ongoing reconstruction of I-70 from a rather high bridge!
That is exactly what it looks like: They have two lanes open for eastbound traffic, but one of them is on the half of the road intended for westbound traffic, so it’s separated from the other lane by the concrete barrier meant to demarcate the median.
Anyway! Then we got back onto I-70 to view the same construction zone from ground level.
This is the bridge that previous set of photos was taken from. It’s for a street called Hamline Avenue.
Here’s a view of the actual crossover for that weird contraflow segment. You can see one lane from eastbound I-70 cutting across the median to join the westbound roadway while the other lane stays on the eastbound roadway.
We’ve always had a fondness for US Route 40, also known as the National Road.
Finally, this is just a nice view, as we were heading off into the sunset through Licking County.
