State Route 2 (SR 2), formerly known as Inter-county Highway 2 until 1921[3] and State Highway 2 in 1922,[4] is an east–west highway crossing most of northern Ohio. Its western terminus is at the Indiana state line near Hicksville where the route becomes Indiana State Road 37 which continues to Fort Wayne, Indiana. The eastern terminus of the route is in Painesville Township in Lake County at U.S. Route 20 (US 20).

Route description[edit]

Western terminus of SR 2
Eastern terminus of SR 2

It passes through Bryan, Wauseon (where it briefly becomes a couplet[5]), and enters greater Toledo west of its interchange with the Ohio Turnpike. It continues east from greater Toledo and soon parallels Lake Erie, becoming a freeway near Port Clinton. From Oregon to Sandusky SR 2 is part of 293 miles (472 km) of the highway designated the "Lake Erie Coastal Ohio Trail".[6] and on September 22, 2005, was designated a National Scenic Byway.[7] From Toledo to Sandusky the highway is also part of and designated the Lake Erie Circle Tour that is also part of the 6,500-mile (10,500 km) "Great Lakes Circle Tour".[8] It then passes Sandusky, where it meets U.S. Route 250 (US 250) and US 6, and separates from the lakeshore as a freeway, and traverses rural Erie County before entering Lorain County. Near Elyria, it joins Interstate 90 (I-90), whose route it shares to Rocky River, where it follows SR 254 along Detroit Road into Lakewood. Here it again joins US 6, as well as US 20 on Clifton Boulevard. It then becomes part of the Cleveland Memorial Shoreway in Cleveland, joining I-90 again near Burke Lakefront Airport. These two highways split near Euclid, and SR 2 continues along the Lakeland Freeway to Painesville, feeding into US 20 eastbound. SR 2 serves as an access route to lakeshore attractions on Lake Erie from Toledo and Cleveland and as an alternative to the Ohio Turnpike.

The stretch of SR 2 from Toledo to Sandusky passes several attractions. The Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge is just east of SR 19 in Carroll Township. It sits on 733 acres (297 ha) along with the Davis–Besse Nuclear Power Station.

SR 2 is the lowest numbered state route in Ohio. SR 1 was decommissioned in 1965.

Naming[edit]

The section of SR 2 that runs through Erie County is called the "Jackie Mayer Miss America Highway" and is named for Jackie Mayer, a former Miss America who was born and raised in Sandusky.[9]

The section of SR 2 that runs through Willoughby is named "Brian Montgomery Memorial Highway"[10] in honor of a Marine Lance Corporal who was killed in the Iraq War in August 2005.[11]

History[edit]

  • 1912: Intercounty Highway 2 runs from Cleveland to the Pennsylvania state line.[12]
  • 1923: Route is extended to follow current US 6 alignment from the Indiana state line to Bryan, and current SR 51 and US 20 from Toledo to the Pennsylvania state line.[13]
  • 1926–1927: Rerouted from Toledo to Cleveland along previous SR 23 alignment from Toledo to Port Clinton, previously unnumbered route from Port Clinton to 2 miles (3.2 km) west of Sandusky, and previous SR 12 from 2 miles (3.2 km) west of Sandusky to Cleveland. Cleveland-to-Pennsylvania alignment certified as US 20.[13]
  • 1931: Extended east to Willoughby along previously unnumbered route (St. Clair).
  • 1931–1932: Western terminus shortened to Bryan, Bryan to Indiana state line certified as US 6
  • 1936: Extended to Indiana state line via the former SR 108 alignment from Hicksville to Bryan, and the former SR 18 alignment from the Indiana state line to Hicksville, with which it was dually certified along this route until 1940.[13]
  • 1939: SR 18 alignment removed from SR 2 alignment west of Hicksville.[13]
  • 1939: Route extended east to Lost Nation Road in Willoughby.
  • 1941: SR 2 from West 6th to East 9th moved from Lakeside Avenue to the Lakefront Highway, later called the Cleveland Memorial Shoreway. Lakeside certified as SR 2 temporary.
  • 1962: Extended east to SR 283 in Painesville; Euclid-to-Painesville alignment upgraded to freeway.[13]
  • 1967: 9 miles (14 km) west of Sandusky to 4 miles (6.4 km) west of Sandusky upgraded to freeway, and rerouted on the bypass around Sandusky on former US 6 alignment.[13]
  • 1967: Route extended to its current eastern terminus at US 20 in Painesville Township
  • 1968: From SR 163 to 9 miles (14 km) west of Sandusky upgraded to freeway.[13]
  • 1970: From 2 miles (3.2 km) west of Amherst to SR 83 (SR 76 at that time) upgraded to freeway; from 4 miles (6.4 km) east of Amherst to SR 83 dually certified with I-90.[13]
  • 1973–1975: OH 2 Alt is deleted as discontinuous sections of Route 2 are moved from US 6 to I-90.
  • 1976: From Ceylon to 2 miles (3.2 km) west of Amherst upgraded to freeway.[13]
  • 1977: From SR 83 to Rocky River upgraded to freeway and dually certified with I-90.[13]
