Hype for the Future 95E: United States Route 224

Overview

Within the United States of America, Route 224 is a route covering three distinct states in the union—namely Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, from west to east. The western terminus of the highway is located in Huntington, Indiana, while the eastern terminus is located in New Castle, Pennsylvania. Between Huntington and New Castle, however, much of the route is relatively rural and often two-lane, with the most notable exception occurring within the Greater Akron area. Elsewhere, Route 224 is a relatively conservative route, and the two-lane nature of the highway is largely suitable for select Amish communities associated with the surrounding area. In the northeastern and north-central portions of the State of Ohio, Route 224 is often only around one mile north of the southern boundary of the historic Connecticut Western Reserve.

Hype for the Future 95D: United States Route 127 in Ohio

Introduction

United States Route 127 is an auxiliary highway in the United States Numbered Highway System, related to Route 27, which the highway crosses in Cincinnati and meets again in Chattanooga. North of Cincinnati, most of the route is east of Route 27, while further south, the route is generally further west. Within the State of Ohio, the westernmost counties of the State of Ohio, each bordering Indiana, are covered by Route 127.

Communities

Every county seat for the westernmost Ohio counties, with the exception of Defiance, is covered by the route. At the northern end of the State of Ohio, Route 127 also skirts the northwestern corner of Fulton County immediately south of Michigan, while further south, a total of nine (9) other counties are served by the route.

Further south within the State of Ohio, Route 127 covers the communities of Bryan, Sherwood, Paulding, Van Wert, Celina, Greenville, Eaton, Hamilton, and Cincinnati. Smaller communities are also covered throughout the route; however, the City of Defiance is located further east and away from the primary highway.
