Ohio State Route 553 is a very short route stemming northwest out of Crown City, on the southeastern edge of Ohio. Ohio Route 553 runs between Ohio Route 7 in the southeast and Ohio Route 218 in the northwest. This 3-mile stretch of road is located about 15 miles northeast of Huntington, West Virginia. Ohio Route 553 is in the southern reaches of Gallia County.
My photo for Ohio Route 553 comes from the northwestern end at Ohio Route 218. Travelers heading southward on Ohio Route 218 will see this set of signs, pointing out the turn onto Ohio Route 553. This photo was taken during the grand tour of southeastern Ohio in March, 2021.
