Route description
edit
SR 245 travels through the northern portion of Champaign County, the southern portion of Logan County and then re-enters Champaign County; the highway also travels through the western part of Union County. No segment of this highway is a part of the National Highway System.[4]
History
editSR 245 was first designated in 1962. The original routing of the highway consisted of the same route as today.[2][3] Prior to June 1963, SR 245 was signed as SR 275.[3] The route was renumbered at that time due to Ohio renumbering state highways sharing the same number as Interstate highways;[3] Interstate 275 forced the renumbering of SR 275.
