State Route 2
Ohio State Route 2 is a 227 mile long highway from Indiana State Road 37 west of Hicksville to U.S. 20 in Painesville Township. SR 2 joins the Williams County seat of Bryan and the Fulton County seat of Wauseon along a stair stepped course from U.S. 127 to U.S. 20A. Leading into the Toledo area, SR 2 joins Eugene F. Kranz-Toledo-Swanton International Airport (TOL) with Downtown along Airport Highway.
Continuing east from Toledo, SR 2 runs through Oregon to Lake Erie. Shifting south into Ottawa County, SR 2 upgrades to a limited access highway around Port Clinton and across Sandusky Bay. Bypassing the city of Sandusky to the south, the freeway meets U.S. 6 twice en route to Huron. The parallel routes advance east to Vermillion and Lorain.
SR 2 overlaps with Interstate 90 from Elyria east 18.10 miles to SR 254 (Detroit Road) at Rocky River. SR 2/254 combine 1.55 miles northeast to U.S. 6 (Clifton Boulevard). U.S. 6/SR 2 proceed east through the city of Lakewood, joining U.S. 20 to the Edgewater neighborhood in Cleveland.
The Cleveland Memorial Shoreway leads SR 2 north of Downtown from Edgewater Park to West Flats, The Flats and Cleveland Burke Lakefront Airport (BKL). U.S. 6/20 accompany the freeway east to W 25th Street. The Cleveland Memorial Shoreway was originally planned as the route for Interstate 90. The western portion however was never constructed.
I-90/SR 2 combine again from the Goodrich/Kirtland Park neighborhood in Cleveland northeast to Euclid. SR 2 separates from Interstate 90 along the Lakeland Freeway from Wickliffe to Painesville in Lake County.
