Ohio State Route 228
State Route 228 (SR 228, OH 228) is a short north–south state highway in the U.S. state of Ohio. The southern terminus of the state route is at State Route 19 nearly 5.5 miles (8.9 km) north of Republic. Its northern terminus is at State Route 101 approximately 5.5 miles (8.9 km) southwest of Clyde.
This state highway was established in the mid 1920s. It serves as a connector between State Route 19 and State Route 101 east and northeast of where the two routes intersect. State Route 19 jogs west from State Route 228's southern terminus, and State Route 101 traverses in a southwest-to-northeast fashion, creating a tight angle between the two routes. State Route 778 serves a similar purpose to State Route 228 to the west and southwest of the junction of State Route 19 and State Route 101.

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)
“What thou art is mine;
Our state cannot be severed, we are one,
One flesh; to lose thee were to lose myself.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“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)
