^Looking west after Ohio 54 has zigged and zagged twice southeast of Urbana, April 2025.
Ohio State Route 54 runs from Urbana to points east of Springfield, in west-central Ohio. It's a rural route whose length is just under 25 miles. The northern end of Ohio Route 54 is in Urbana, at US Route 36, which is concurrent with Ohio Route 29. From this northern end, Ohio Route 54 runs south and zigzags erratically on a series of country roads that cut eastward. Ohio Route 54 turns southerly through Catawba and South Vienna. There isn't much for Ohio Route 54 to do after that; it ends near South Charleston at Ohio Route 41.
Ohio Route 54 has a new featured photo on this page, replacing an older photo that wasn't as good, in my opinion. The old photo appears at the bottom of the page, however, for those who are still interested in seeing it.
My photo of Ohio Route 54 shows a trailblazer used by northbound travelers to orient themselves once they enter Urbana. This trailblazer adorns the final northward stretch, after Ohio Route 54's last turn from one road onto another. The end at US Route 36 is just ahead, if you're driving past this sign and observing it. This photo was taken driving around western Ohio in April 2025.
Here is the old photo of Ohio 54 that once took center stage on this page:
My older photo of Ohio State Route 54 comes from the eastbound offramp of Interstate 70 at South Vienna. Those exiting the eastbound lanes of the Interstate will see this scene as they approach the stop sign at Ohio Route 54. This photo was taken in October 2015 on the way to Columbus.
