State Road 124 (SR 124) is an east–west
SR 124 was first designated as a state road in 1932 along a segment of its current route. It was extended west to the Miami–Wabash county line by the late 1930s and to Peru by the early 1950s. The entire route was paved in the early 1960s to the mid-1960s. A reroute in the 2000s bypassed the west side of Bluffton.
Route description
SR 124 starts in Peru at the corner of Broadway (SR 19) and Riverside Drive. The state road heads east concurrent with Riverside Drive and parallel to the Wabash River. The road leaves Peru and enters rural Miami County, passing through farmland. SR 124 parallels the Mississinewa River, before crossing over it. After crossing over the river SR 124 passes north of the Mississinewa Lake Dam, before entering Wabash County. In Wabash County the highway passes through mostly agricultural areas with some woodlands. SR 124 has intersection with SR 13 and SR 15 in rural Wabash County, south of the city of Wabash. East of SR 15, SR 124 enters Huntington County.[3][4]

After crossing the river the SR 124 designation ends at the Ohio state line. The roadway continues east as Ohio State Route 81 and passes through the village of Willshire, Ohio.[3][4]
History
The Indiana State Highway Commission designated SR 124 as a state road in early 1932, between SR 5 and the Wells–Adams county line.[2] SR 124 in Adams County became a state road in late 1932.[5][6] In 1934 the route between Peru and SR 5 was authorized to become a state road. Between late 1938 and early 1939 the route between the Miami–Wabash county line and SR 5 officially becomes a state road.[7][8] SR 124 in Miami County was added to the state road system in late 1950 or early 1951.[9][10] Paving on SR 124, in Miami and Huntington county and between SR 1 and the Wells–Adams county line, was completed in late 1962 or early 1963.[11][12] The rest of the route was paved between late 1965 and early 1966.[13][14] A bypass around the west side Bluffton was completed in late 2003 or early 2004.[15][16]
