Narrative Incorrect

OH 32 does not end at the Memorial Bridge on its eastern end as mentioned in the narrative, but at the Parkersburg-Belpre Bridge. After it leaves OH 7, it turns south to be concurrent with OH 618 until it turns east again over the Parkersburg-Belpre Bridge Dnrothx (talk) 23:13, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

History notes

Batavia Turnpike and Miami Bridge Company: Beechmont and Eastern (?) to Batavia
plank road, Williamsburg to Mount Orab
Waverly and Beaver Free Turnpike?
free turnpike, Beaver to Jackson?

Inter-county highways

41 Cincinnati-Batavia Road
125 Batavia-Winchester Road (extended beyond Winchester to south of Seaman)
Part of 261 Hillsboro-Piketon Road
366 Jackson-Piketon Road
Part of 395 Pomeroy-Jackson Road
Part of 160 Athens-McArthur Road
Most of 156 Athens-Hockingport Road
Part of 7 Ohio River Road

All of these were part of the original 1912 network.

In 1923 it became:

State Route 74, Cincinnati to south of Seaman
Part of State Route 24, Hillsboro to east of Rolandus
Part of State Route 26, Dunlap to Woodsfield
Most of State Route 144, Athens to Little Hocking
Part of State Route 7, Indiana to Conneaut

An extension of SR 74 to east of Peebles first appears on the 1925 map. In 1927, SR 24 became SR 124, and the parts of SR 26, SR 144, and SR 7 now used by SR 32 became US 50.

First appearances of other parts

State Route 346: 1935, connecting to a short piece of State Route 143 from 1912
State Route 772 south of SR 124: 1939
Proposed Appalachian Highway west of Athens: 1969
New SR 346 from Roads: 1971
SR 32 extended to SR 124: 1973
SR 32 extended to west of Albany: 1985
SR 32 extended to Belpre: 1992
Four-laning complete: 1997 near Piketon, 1999 east of Athens

Also see [1]: mentions State Route 689 (first in 1937) as part of the route, but this is basically just "what are current conditions like"
