Starting east through suburban Lorain County, I-480 enters Cuyahoga County.

After traversing Brooklyn and crossing the Cuyahoga River on the Valley View Bridge, the highway continues east towards the communities of Bedford and Twinsburg toward its eastern terminus at I-80 in Streetsboro. On its route, I-480 crosses interstates I-71, I-77 and I-271.
