Heading west on the Ohio Turnpike.

|
The precipitation had pretty much ended, but the road was still in poor condition.
|
|
|
|
Traffic was mainly keeping to the right lane. The left lane was snow- and ice-covered.
|
|
|
Ohio uses markers for I-69, even though that route never enters the state.
|
|
|
A salt truck lies ahead.
|

This was the general condition of the road, although in this photo the left lane looks better here than it generally was.

The blank spots on these signs are where US 27 signs used to be. US 27 was decommissioned north of Fort Wayne and in Michigan.

I-69 in Indiana was in horrible condition. The sign on the right in the background marks the entrance into Michigan.
