Route description
editA T-intersection with US 68 in Salem Township located approximately one-half mile (0.80 km) south of the boundary between Champaign and Logan counties, and one mile (1.6 km) south of West Liberty, marks the starting point of SR 507. Heading east from there, this state route jogs northeasterly briefly before continuing easterly through farm country. Passing its intersection with McClain Road, SR 507 turns to the southeast. At Champaign County Road 223, SR 507 bends to the northeast, and continues in that direction through its junction with SR 245 near the Ohio Caverns, where the highway comes to an end. The roadway continuing beyond SR 245 after SR 507 terminates is Mount Tabor Road.[2]

Later on, SR 275 would be re-designated as SR 245.[3][4]
