State Route175 (SR175) is a 15.70-mile (25.27km) long north–south state highway in the northeastern part of the U.S. state of Ohio. The southern terminus of SR175 is at a signalized intersection with SR43 in Solon. Its northern terminus is at a signalized intersection with SR283 in Euclid.
Route description
All of SR175 traverses the eastern portion of Cuyahoga County. SR175 begins at the intersection of Richmond Road and Aurora Road (Ohio State Route 43). It quickly intersects Cannon Road, turns right to follow Cannon Road, and immediately turns left to continue north along Richmond Road. SR175 intersects with the Outerbelt East Freeway, commonly known as Interstate 271 and also part of U.S. Route 422. However, it is only a partial interchange; there is an exit ramp from I-271 South/US422 East and an entrance ramp to I-271 North/US422 West. It soon after intersects with Harvard Road, passing the Ahuja Medical Center and entering the city of Beachwood. Further into Beachwood, it crosses Chagrin Boulevard (now with the US422 designation) and picks up the designation for OH-87. OH-87 leaves Richmond Road at an intersection for Shaker Boulevard. SR175 continues through the eastern suburbs of Cleveland, eventually terminating with Lakeshore Boulevard (OH283).
History
When SR175 was created in 1923, it ran from Painesville westward along current SR283 along Lake Erie to the current intersection of SR175 and SR283 in Euclid, then turned south along its current alignment until just northwest of its current southern terminus, where it followed Perkins and Columbus Roads southwest to SR14 in Bedford.[2][3]
In 1929, the portion of SR175 along Lake Erie was replaced with part of the SR6 designation (now SR283), and SR175 was shortened to its current northern terminus.[4][5]
In 1946, SR175 was re-routed and extended southward through its current southern terminus to SR14/Broadway Avenue on the boundary between Cuyahoga and Summit Counties, replacing the SR613 designation that had run between SR43 and SR14. (SR14 was later relocated onto Interstate 480.)[6][7] By 1967, SR175 was shortened to its current southern terminus.[8][9]
