Interstate 475 (I-475) is an Interstate Highway in Ohio that is a 20.37-mile (32.78 km) western bypass of Toledo. The southern terminus is I-75 exit 192 near Perrysburg. From the southern terminus to exit 14, I-475 is co-signed with US Route 23 (US 23), and is signed the north/south section of I-475. From exit 14 to the eastern (northern most) terminus at I-75 exit 204 in central Toledo, (north of downtown), it is signed the east/west section of I-475.

Although I-475 crosses I-80/I-90 (the Ohio Turnpike), there is no interchange and one must drive a couple of miles through surface streets between I-475 exit 6 and I-80/I-90 exit 59.

I-475 is named the "Rosa Parks Highway" in honor of Rosa Parks, who had helped organize the Montgomery bus boycott.^[2]
