Interstate 270 is a short 5.31-mile connector highway in Denver, Colorado that connects Interstate 25 to I-70 in eastern Denver. I-270 crosses through the suburb of Commerce City, Colorado.
Interstate 270 makes up a large portion of the outer belt freeway in the St. Louis, Missouri metropolitan area. The western terminus of I-270 (actually is the southwest portion of freeway) is at the junction with Interstate 55 in Mehlville, Missouri; the eastern terminus of the freeway is at the junction with I-70 north of Troy, Illinois. The entire stretch of I-270 is 50.59 miles.
Interstate 270 is a connector highway that travels between Frederick, Maryland and Interstate 495 (the Capital Beltway) just north of Bethesda, Maryland. I-270 also travels through the cities of Germantown, Gaithersburg, and Rockville, Maryland. The entire length of I-270 is 34.4 miles.
Interstate 270 is the beltway loop freeway in the Columbus metropolitan area, commonly known locally as the outer belt. The "western" (and "eastern") terminus of I-270, at least in terms of the zero-milepost, is at the junction with Interstate 71 east of Grove City, Ohio. I-270, along with Interstate 670, provides access to Port Columbus International Airport. The entire length of I-270 is 54.97 miles. The highway was the subject of national media attention in late 2003 and early 2004 when a number of sniper shootings were reported along the southern portion of the interstate and other neighboring highways, resulting in the death of one person. Charles McCoy is accused of the shootings and will stand trial in 2005.
