Route description

SR 110 begins at the intersection of Riverview Avenue (former SR 424) and Perry Street ( SR 108) in downtown Napoleon. SR 110 heads southeast from here concurrent with SR 108. The road passes through commercial properties as a four-lane undivided highway. The highway crosses over the Maumee River and has an intersection with the southern end of the SR 108 concurrency. SR 110 turns northeast, passing commercial properties as a four-lane undivided highway. At a traffic signal with Appian Avenue the route narrows to a two-lane highway and parallels the Maumee River, passes through residential properties. The residential properties end and the highway passes through industrial type properties. The road curves towards the east, still parallel to the river, and passes through farmland, with some woodland. The highway has an interchange with

History

SR 110 was originally signed in 1923. At that time SR 110 ran along its current route from Napoleon to Grand Rapids and along current SR 65 from Grand Rapids to Perrysburg. The current route of SR 110 was paved by 1926. In 1927, SR 110 was moved to run along the north bank of the Maumee River from Napoleon to Grand Rapids, with US 24 taking the south bank of the river. In 1931, its eastern terminus was moved to Grand Rapids. In 1942, the eastern terminus was extended to

, replacing SR 184. Also in that year the route was flipped US 24, once again putting SR 110 on the south banks of the Maumee. In 1958, SR 110 was truncated to its current terminus, leaving the road between SR 65 and SR 64 unnumbered. No significant changes have taken place to this state route since 1958.
