the same year. By 1931, the route had extended to SR 186 near McComb, replacing SR 187. By 1935, the route had extended to SR 18 near Bloomdale. Three years later it was extended again, this time all the way to Bellevue, by overlapping SR 18 and SR 12, then following the Sandusky County/ Seneca County line to Bellevue, replacing SR 185. SR 113 was extended to Elyria in 1939, replacing SR 59, and to its current eastern terminus in 1940. In 1959, when the bypass around Fremont opened, SR 113 was rerouted along it, following SR 12 from Bettsville to SR 53, then following that route on the bypass and overlapping US 20 from Fremont to Bellevue, where it continued on its old route to Lakewood. Except for a small stretch of road in downtown Fostoria, SR 113 was now completely concurrent from Bloomdale to Bellevue. Thus in 1970, the route was split into two separate highways. The concurrencies were removed, SR 113 was truncated at Bellevue, and the western part of the route (from the Indiana state line to Fostoria) was recertified as SR 613.
