State Route 378 (SR 378) is a north–south
Created in the mid-1930s, and existing entirely in Lawrence County, SR 378 parallels Symmes Creek for its entire length. A part of the northern segment of the state highway runs through a small section of Wayne National Forest.
Route description
SR 378 begins at a four-way stop-controlled intersection in
For its entire length, SR 378's surroundings consists of residential homes and small farms within the Symmes Creek valley. Though the terrain in the area is very hilly, because the route closely winds its way along the bottom of the creek valley, the elevation along the route does not change very much.[2] The highway is not included as a part of the National Highway System, a system of highways deemed most important for the country's economy, mobility and defense.[4]
History
When it was designated in 1935, SR 378 existed just in the form of its current northern 4 miles (6.4 km) segment between SR 217 and SR 141.[5][6] Two years later, SR 378 would take on its current look when it was extended via a short concurrency with SR 217 heading east, then onto its current southern stretch to a junction with SR 243. Since that extension, there have been no other significant changes to the routing of State Route 378.[7][8]
Major intersections
The entire route is in Lawrence County.
