State Route 307 (SRÂ 307) is an eastâwest state highway in the northeastern portion of the U.S. state of Ohio. Its western terminus is at State Route 528 on the southern boundary of Madison, and its eastern terminus is at State Route 193 nearly 7 miles (11Â km) southeast of Jefferson.
SRÂ 307 was commissioned in the mid-1930s and the route was swapped with another state route one year later. The route was extended in the later 1930s, to an intersection with SRÂ 84. That section of road was decommission in the early 1960s.
Route description
[edit]SRÂ 307 begins at a T-intersection with SRÂ 528. The route heads east as a two-lane highway passing through farmland and woodland, with some houses. The highway has an intersection with SRÂ 534. The road has an intersection with SRÂ 45, in Austinburg. After Austinburg, SRÂ 307 turns towards the southeast, still passing through farmland and woodland. The route enters Jefferson, passing through residential properties, before an intersection with SRÂ 46. SRÂ 46 and SRÂ 307 head due south concurrent, into downtown Jefferson, passing through commercial and residential properties. After downtown Jefferson SRÂ 307 leaves SRÂ 46. SRÂ 307 heads southeast leaving Jefferson, passing through woodland and farmland. The highway has an interchange with SRÂ 11. SRÂ 307 ends at a T-intersection in rural Ashtabula County.[4][5] No segment of this highway is a part of the National Highway System.[6]
History
[edit]SRÂ 307 was original certified in 1933, it was routed between Madison and SRÂ 45 along current State Route 84.[2][3] In 1934 SRÂ 307 swapped alignments with SRÂ 84.[3][7] The route was extended west to SRÂ 84, 4 miles (6.4Â km) east of Painesville, in 1937.[8][9] Between 1962 and 1964, SRÂ 307 between SRÂ 84 and SRÂ 528 was decommissioned.[10][11]
