Interstate 80 eller I-80 är en väg, Interstate Highway, i USA. Den börjar i San Francisco och slutar strax väster om New York och räknas därför som en kust-till-kust-väg. På vägen går den genom delstaterna Kalifornien, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania och New Jersey.
Historia
Motorvägen planerades under Eisenhowers presidenttid i mitten av 1950-talet som en ursprunglig del av Interstate Highway System, det federala motorvägssystemet. Den sista delsträckan i närheten av Salt Lake City invigdes 1986. Vid ceremonin uppmärksammades att platsen ligger nära Promontory Summit i Utah, där den första transamerikanska järnvägen över kontinenten färdigställdes 1869.
Interstate 80 följer den ungefärliga sträckningen för många historiska kommunikationsleder västerut i USA. Delar av motorvägen följer den historiska sträckningen för nybyggarlederna Oregon Trail och California Trail. I västra USA går motorvägen till stora delar parallellt med den första transamerikanska järnvägen som byggdes i slutet av 1860-talet. Den första transkontinentala landsvägen, Lincoln Highway, följde också samma ungefärliga sträckning. Lincoln Highways efterföljare, U.S. Route 30, hade tidigare ungefär samma sträckning som motorvägen innan motorvägen byggdes och är delvis samskyltad med Interstate 80.
