Route Description
Although a route of less than 0.25 miles (0.40 km) in length, State Route 578 does pass through two counties: Wood and Lucas. The highway was not included within the National Highway System.
No sooner than starting from the intersection of State Route 65 and Bridge Street in Grand Rapids, State Route 578 crossed the Maumee River via a two-lane, four-span steel bridge. North of the bridge, State Route 578 met a pair of driveways (one on either side of the roadway), crossed over a very narrow waterway parallel to the Maumee River, and promptly arrived at its endpoint at the former U.S. Route 24.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“In the mountains the shortest route is from peak to peak, but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are spoken should be big and tall of stature.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“As they are not seen on their way down the streams, it is thought by fishermen that they never return, but waste away and die, clinging to rocks and stumps of trees for an indefinite period; a tragic feature in the scenery of the river bottoms worthy to be remembered with Shakespeare’s description of the sea-floor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
