Ohio State Route 588 is an east-west route in Gallia County. It runs from Rio Grande to Gallipolis, paralleling US Route 35 to the south. The western end, in Rio Grande, is at Ohio Route 325, just barely south of Ohio Route 325's interchange with US Route 35. The eastern end is at Ohio Route 7 in Gallipolis, near the Ohio River. This short route is near the far southeastern edge of the State of Ohio.
My photo for Ohio Route 588 comes from the eastern end in Gallipolis, at the junction with Ohio Route 7. From this junction, Ohio Route 588 runs westerly down State Street. The aperture, like the drivers reading the signage, faces south at the depicted sign assembly, showing people that Ohio Route 588 begins toward the right. This photo was taken in March, 2021, during the grand tour of southeastern Ohio.
