^Looking east from the western end at Ohio Route 325, April 2025.
Ohio State Route 554 is a winding east-west route in southeastern Ohio. It runs for twenty miles in northern Gallia County, connecting Cheshire to Rio Grande. The western end is on the north side of Rio Grande, at a junction with Ohio Route 325 that is just barely north of US Route 35. Ohio Route 554 runs northeasterly, and then easterly. Suddenly, within a few miles of Cheshire, Ohio Route 554 dives southwesterly to end at Ohio Route 7 in the town of Cheshire.
My photo for Ohio Route 554 shows a guide marker at the junction with Ohio Route 850 in Bidwell. Ohio Route 850's northern end here, and northbound travelers reaching the stop sign at Ohio Route 554 see this sign, positioned across the street. This photo was taken in April 2025, during a small detour I took from driving the entirety of US Route 35, which is in close proximity to this junction.
