A new bill, if approved in the Ohio General Assembly, seeks to rename a two-mile stretch of I-70 in Columbus, Ohio, in honor of Donald Trump.
The bill, co-sponsored by State Reps D.J. Swearingen (R-Huron) and Jeff LaRe (RViolet Township), would rename the stretch of I-70 from mile marker 98 to mile marker 100 in Ohio as "President Donald Trump Freedom Highway." If approved, the bill would direct the Ohio Department of Transportation to "construct suitable markers along the highway indicating its name."
The stretch of highway is among the busiest portions of the interstate that spans 2,171 miles. Interstate 70 is the fifth-longest interstate in the U.S.
The bill would need to be passed by the Ohio House and Senate and signed into law by Gov. Mike DeWine before it takes effect.
