Route description

History

The designation of SR 328 took place in 1932. Originally, the highway was a

unincorporated community of Union Furnace.[2][3]

In 1937, SR 328 was extended southwest from Union Furnace to its present southern terminus, utilizing a combination of previously un-numbered roadways and a portion of

freeway around the south side of Logan. Jurisdiction of this short stretch between the new freeway and Front Street was transferred from the State to local control, with the road becoming known as Lockheed Road.[6][7]

In 2014, the Ohio House of Representatives designated SR 328 within Hocking County the Patrolman Carl "Shorty" Thrush Memorial Highway.[8][9] Thrush, a patrolman for the Ohio State Highway Patrol, died in the line of duty from injuries he suffered in a motor vehicle accident in 1972.[10] The designation took effect in 2015.[11]

In 2016, ODOT proposed converting the intersection with the eastbound ramps of US 33 in Logan near Logan High School to a roundabout due to congestion.[12] The roundabout opened to traffic in 2017.[13]
