There is a lot of disparity in Ohio.
MDOT does seem to be obsessed with spending money to remove these anachronisms, like the I94/Ford Road interchange. I loved that old interchange. They replaced a perfectly nice 'merge' with a 'T' intersection. Sure, I understand the idea -- but it hardly seems like it was worth the expense. And there went some great history.
