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:
“The route through childhood is shaped by many forces, and it differs for each of us. Our biological inheritance, the temperament with which we are born, the care we receive, our family relationships, the place where we grow up, the schools we attend, the culture in which we participate, and the historical period in which we live—all these affect the paths we take through childhood and condition the remainder of our lives.”
—Robert H. Wozniak (20th century)
“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)
