The original route of US 24 closely followed the
The concurrent segment with US 25 between Conant Street/US 20 and the intersection of Anthony Wayne Trail and Detroit Street (crossing over the Ohio Turnpike) became a concurrency with SR 25 following US 25's decommissioning in Ohio and Michigan in 1973, as SR 25 replaced US 25 along Detroit Avenue to the Cherry Street/US 24 intersection. The former concurrency along Detroit Avenue to Telegraph Road became just US 24, while the northernmost section of Detroit Avenue reverted to local control.[2][3] The route of US 24 in the Toledo–Maumee area would remain unchanged until 1986, when the Ohio Department of Transportation switched the US 24 and SR 25 designations, placing US 24 on Detroit Avenue and rerouting SR 25 to continue northeasterly from Monroe Street via the Erie/Michigan one-way couplet to the Greenbelt Parkway and a new terminus at I-280.[4]
Upgrades to the route around Napoleon began in 2008. This included the construction of a new route from east of Napoleon to north of
