Ohio Rev. Code Ann. § 5535.05

Court proceedings to acquire the necessary land for "limited access highways" or "freeways" as provided in sections 5535.02 to 5535.04, inclusive, of the Revised Code, shall take precedence over all other causes not involving the public interest in all courts, and shall be given preference to the end that constructions and reconstructions of highways and freeways may not be unreasonably delayed, but may be expedited.
