SRÂ 534's path takes it through the western portions of Mahoning, Trumbull and Ashtabula Counties. The route starts at an intersection with US 62 / SR 173 in Damascus. The route continues north going through Berlin Center where it passes US 224 and further I-76 east of Lake Milton. Around 2 miles north the route enters Trumbull County where it continues north going through Newton Falls. The route goes past US 422 just south of the unincorporated community of Southington. Around 43.2 miles from the start the route enters Ashtabula County north and passes US 322 in Windsor. Further it passes US 6 at a Traffic circle in Hartsgrove. After crossing the Grand River, the route passes over I-90 and continues into Geneva where it passes US 20 / LECT. The route continues ends at a curve in Geneva-on-the-Lake, that turns into SR 531.
There are no segments of this highway that are included within the National Highway System (NHS). The NHS is a network of highways deemed most important for the nation's economy, mobility and defense.[4]
History
[edit]SRÂ 534 debuted in 1937. It was originally routed along the majority of its current alignment, excepting a short stretch in northwestern Ashtabula County. Before its inception, SRÂ 534 consisted of previously un-numbered roads south of Windsor, and SRÂ 45 from Windsor north to Geneva-on-the-Lake.[2][3]
Before 1962, SR 534 utilized the Harpersfield Covered Bridge to cross the Grand River near Harpersfield, in the vicinity of its junction with SR 307. In that year, a new alignment of the state highway was constructed, bypassing the covered bridge to the east. As a result, the former alignment that utilized the covered bridge to pass over the Grand River was turned over to Ashtabula County, and renamed as County Road 154 (CR 154).[5][6]
