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:
“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)
“It is possible—indeed possible even according to the old conception of logic—to give in advance a description of all ‘true’ logical propositions. Hence there can never be surprises in logic.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
