Interstate 280 (abbreviated I-280) is a 12.41-mile-long highway that connects Interstate 75 in northeast Toledo, Ohio with Interstate 80/Interstate 90 (part of the Ohio Turnpike) southeast of the city in northeastern Wood County, Ohio.

Before the 1990s, no direct interchange existed between I-75 and I-80 / I-90, making I-280 the only direct connection between the two Interstate highways.

As of June 25, 2007, the Veterans' Glass City Skyway was opened, replacing the Craig Memorial Bridge, thus taking I-280 off the list of one of few drawbridges in the Interstate highway system. After the Glass City Skyway opened, the Craig Bridge was rehabilitated and now carries State Route 65.
