"Ohio Gears Up for Solar Eclipse Travel Chaos and Safety Precautions"

Ohio is preparing for a potential influx of 150,000 to 575,000 visitors for the upcoming eclipse, with the greater Cleveland area expected to offer prime viewing spots. The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and Ohio Turnpike Infrastructure Commission are gearing up for the event, with plans to minimize roadwork, provide extra fuel for stranded drivers, and offer 24-hour roadside assistance. Drivers are encouraged to plan ahead, ensure full gas tanks, and consider purchasing an E-ZPass for reduced travel times. The impact of the eclipse on Ohio's visitor numbers will depend on weather conditions in neighboring states.
