Encyclopedia > U.S. Highway 23

U.S. Highway 23 is a long north-south U.S. highway between Mackinaw City, Michigan and Jacksonville, Florida. It is an original route (1926) which originally reached only so far south as Portsmouth, Ohio and has since been extended. The designation is more intact than that of many other routes in the north-central and mid-Atlantic states, at least for now.

History

US 23 was extended into Florida along US 1 in 1951. When the 20th Street Expressway was built around downtown Jacksonville, US 1 was moved but US 23 remained. It has never changed its route in Florida, though at one time it was planned to extend south, maybe to Fort Myers via US 17, SR 19, SR 33, US 98, US 17, and SR 31.

Ohio

  • US-23 crosses the Ohio River from Kentucky and enters Portsmouth.
  • US-23 goes through the towns of Lucasville, Waverly, Piketon, Chillicothe, and Circleville, before reaching Columbus.
  • US-23 mostly follows High Street in Columbus, which was the original route. However, it now bypasses the central business district and north Columbus neighborhoods by following the one-way pair 4th Street (northbound) and 3rd/Summit Street (southbound) between the downtown area and Hudson Street, and Indianola Avenue north before returning to its original course on High Street at Morse Road.
  • US-23 follows High Street northbound from Columbus, going through the towns of Worthington and Delaware.
  • North of Delaware, US-23 becomes a 4-lane divided highway before passing through Waldo, Marion, and Upper Sandusky.
  • US-23 coincides with divided Ohio State Highway 15, until it takes a different route at the Carey exit. SR-15 continues on to Findlay, and is designed to allow most traffic to bypass the northern stretch of US-23 by offering a fast connection to Interstate 75.
  • US-23 continues north through Carey, Fostoria, and Woodville.
  • Atter Woodville, US-23 intersects with US-20, where it has a coincidental route for several miles.
  • US-23 then joins I-75 near Perrysburg, then follows I-475 around the west side of Toledo, passing through Sylvania before entering Michigan.

Note that US-23/I-475 has no direct interchange with the Ohio Turnpike (I-80 and I-90). One must (in 2004) use either surface routes in Holland, Maumee, or I-75 to get access to or from the turnpike.
