Talk:Ohio State Route 32

Narrative Incorrect
OH 32 does not end at the Memorial Bridge on its eastern end as mentioned in the narrative, but at the Parkersburg-Belpre Bridge. After it leaves OH 7, it turns south to be concurrent with OH 618 until it turns east again over the Parkersburg-Belpre Bridge Dnrothx (talk) 23:13, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

History notes

 * Batavia Turnpike and Miami Bridge Company: Beechmont and Eastern (?) to Batavia
 * plank road, Williamsburg to Mount Orab
 * Waverly and Beaver Free Turnpike?
 * free turnpike, Beaver to Jackson?

All of these were part of the original 1912 network.
 * Inter-county highways
 * 41 Cincinnati-Batavia Road
 * 125 Batavia-Winchester Road (extended beyond Winchester to south of Seaman)
 * Part of 261 Hillsboro-Piketon Road
 * 366 Jackson-Piketon Road
 * Part of 395 Pomeroy-Jackson Road
 * Part of 160 Athens-McArthur Road
 * Most of 156 Athens-Hockingport Road
 * Part of 7 Ohio River Road

In 1923 it became:
 * State Route 74, Cincinnati to south of Seaman
 * Part of State Route 24, Hillsboro to east of Rolandus
 * Part of State Route 26, Dunlap to Woodsfield
 * Most of State Route 144, Athens to Little Hocking
 * Part of State Route 7, Indiana to Conneaut

An extension of SR 74 to east of Peebles first appears on the 1925 map. In 1927, SR 24 became SR 124, and the parts of SR 26, SR 144, and SR 7 now used by SR 32 became US 50.
