Route description
I-680 begins at a junction with I-80 and State Route 11 (SR 11) in Austintown. It verges southeast through a residential area in northeastern Austintown until crossing into Youngstown at milepost 2. The Interstate continues through residential areas until meeting the southern edge of downtown Youngstown. Once leaving downtown, the roadway turns south, bound for I-76. I-680 passes through residential Boardman and finally Beaver Township in southern Mahoning county. Once passing the State Route 164 interchange, the Interstate reaches its southern terminus at the Ohio Turnpike, allowing travel to the east on the turnpike (I-76) only.
Exit list
Usually, Interstates that run in a north-south direction number their interstates with lowering numbers furthest south. Interstate 680 does not follow this rule, as the number value increases as it continues southbound. The entire route is in Mahoning County.
