Indianapolis IN from Scranton PA

[ctcamper]

I am headed to Indy and will be traveling 84 to 81 at Scranton. I have to be 45 miles east of Indy on 70 before I get to Indy.
Am I best off going 80 out and cutting down on 71 to 70 through Columbus or continue to 75 and down to 70 that way?



or

I was thinking also of 81 to 76 and 70w but I think it's a little longer as the garmin puts me on 71 south off of 80 west.
I did get a reservation west of Scranton that I would have to cancel if I did 70 via 76

If you go straight west on I-80 until I-76 in Ohio, then south on I-71 you'll avoid all toll roads. I've done it both ways, The Penna Turnpike is not fun with construction and tolls.

76 west through akron to 71 south then is a good route? Then go through columbus on 71 and get on 70?

I've done it a number of times, I don't remember anything remarkable or memorable about it.
