State gateway
Ohio
Ohio support-layer page for the current Route 20 coverage, keeping the Western Reserve and broader corridor framing available beneath the main state gateway.
Ohio
Ohio remains available here as a support-layer page when you want extra corridor framing beneath the main Ohio state gateway. Use the state page first for the broadest Ohio picture, then use this page when you want the Western Reserve and the longer west-to-east corridor grouped a little more tightly.

Practical notes
- Ohio coverage is still selective rather than exhaustive
- Toledo, Cleveland, and Oberlin should each carry different kinds of stop weight instead of competing for the same role
- the new western-entry and Cleveland-side segments make the Ohio corridor read more continuously from west to east
- use the weekend pages when you want the quickest practical entry into the state without planning every segment from scratch
