Ohio State Route 269
State Route 269 (SR 269) is a north–south state highway in the north central portion of the U.S. state of Ohio. Its southern terminus is at SR 4 on the Huron–Seneca county line nearly south of Bellevue, and its northern terminus is at the entrance to East Harbor State Park near Marblehead. History SR 269 was first designated in 1928 albeit on a much shorter route than it runs today. The original route served as a cutoff to the Sandusky Bay Bridge on SR 2 and SR 12 (modern-day U.S. Route 6). In 1935, the route was extended south to end in Castalia at SR 12 (now on a different route than it was in 1928) and SR 101. Two years later, SR 269 was extended much further south through Bellevue to its current southern terminus at SR 4. The extension of SR 296 to SR 4 lead to the deletion of SR 296 as SR 269 was routed along the latter's entire route between SR 4 and Bellevue. The route was extended north after SR 2 was moved onto the new Thomas Edison Bridge over the San ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

State Highways In Ohio
The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is responsible for the establishment and classification of a state highway network which includes interstate highways, U.S. highways, and state routes. As with other states, U.S. and Interstate highways are classified as state routes in Ohio. There are no state routes which duplicate an existing U.S. or Interstate highway in Ohio. Ohio distinguishes between "state routes", which are all the routes on ODOT's system, and "state highways", which are the roads on the state route system which ODOT maintains, i.e. those outside municipalities, with a special provision for Interstate Highways. Besides the state highway network, there are various county and township road networks within the state. History The Ohio Inter-County Highways were created on June 9, 1911, with the passage of the McGuire Bill (Senate Bill 165, 79th Ohio General Assembly). Main Market Roads, the most important of the system, were defined on April 15, 1913. In 192 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sandusky Bay
Sandusky Bay is a bay on Lake Erie in northern Ohio, formed at the mouth of the Sandusky River. It was identified as ''Lac Sandouské'' on a 1718 French map, with early variations recorded that suggest the name was derived from Native American languages. The Thomas A. Edison Memorial Bridge was constructed across it in the 20th century to connect highways in Erie and Ottawa counties.

Located in territory claimed by early French explorers, the bay was identified on a 1718 map by Guillaume Delisle as ''Lac Sandouské'' (later anglicized as Lake Sandusky).
