State Route 293 (SR 293, OH 293) is a 6.29-mile (10.12 km) long north–south state highway in the northwestern portion of the U.S. state of Ohio. The southern terminus of SR 293 is at SR 53 nearly 0.50 miles (0.80 km) south of the village limits of Kirby. Its northern terminus is at the intersection of Sandusky Street and Cass Street in Wharton.

Route description

All of SR 293 exists within the western part of Wyandot County. SR 293 is not included as a part of the National Highway System (NHS). The NHS is a network of highways determined to be most important for the economy, mobility and defense of the country.^[4]

History

SR 293 was established in 1932. The highway originally existed along its northernmost present stretch, connecting the village of Wharton with Lincoln Highway, which at one time was a part of U.S. Route 30 (US 30), and prior to that US 30N. ^[1][2]

In 1997, SR 293 was extended to its present southern terminus by following Lincoln Highway (then a part of US 30) east for 2 miles (3.2 km). From that point, it replaced what was previously designated as SR 699 south to SR 53 just south of Kirby.^[5][6]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Wyandot County.
