The Interstate then meets West 7th Street in an incomplete partial cloverleaf interchange.

[5] The original plans of the Cleveland and other city and federal highway authorities called for the highway—also known as the Clark Freeway[6] and, at various times and in various sections, as I-80N[7] and Interstate 290 (I-290)—to bisect the east side of the city and the eastern suburbs; the I-290 designation would then have continued north along I-271.

[8] I-71 was to have continued along the innerbelt to Dead Man's Curve, while I-290 was to have used the portion of present I-90 westward to the Parma Freeway near West 65th Street.

[4] The Opportunity Corridor expressway was constructed in the late 2010s and early 2020s to follow the path of the canceled portion of I-490/Clark Freeway eastward from East 55th Street until it veers north toward the University Circle neighborhood.

In 2003, I-490 was dedicated to Troy Lee James, former member of the Ohio House of Representatives.
