History
[edit]The SR 309 corridor was originally signed as SR 10, in 1923.[1][2][3] In 1926 US 30 was commissioned to follow SR 10 from Delphos to Mansfield.[4][5] The route was divided in 1932, with US 30S following current SR 309 and US 30N following the Lincoln Highway, the current US 30 corridor.[6][7] The divided routes were removed in 1974 with SR 309 replacing US 30S and US 30 replacing US 30N.[8][9][10][11][12][13][14]
