Ohio State Route 114
State Route 114 (SR 114) is a 32.99-mile (53.09 km) state route that runs between the Indiana state line and Kalida in the US state of Ohio. Most of the route is a rural two-lane highway and passes through both farmland and residential properties. The highway was first signed in 1923 on much the same alignment as today. SR 114 was extended to its current eastern terminus in Kalida in 1926. The route was paved in three sections with the first completed in 1932 and the last one completed in 1939.

Famous quotes containing the words ohio, state and/or route:
“This fair homestead has fallen to us, and how little have we done to improve it, how little have we cleared and hedged and ditched! We are too inclined to go hence to a “better land,” without lifting a finger, as our farmers are moving to the Ohio soil; but would it not be more heroic and faithful to till and redeem this New England soil of the world?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“While the State becomes inflated and hypertrophied in order to obtain a firm enough grip upon individuals, but without succeeding, the latter, without mutual relationships, tumble over one another like so many liquid molecules, encountering no central energy to retain, fix and organize them.”
—Emile Durkheim (1858–1917)
“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
