From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
State Route 522 is an east-west state highway in the southern portion of the U.S. state of Ohio. Its western terminus is at U.S. Route 52 less than 3 miles south of Wheelersburg, and its eastern terminus is at State Route 93 just over 9 miles north of Ironton. State Route 522 begins at an interchange with U.S. Route 52 just outside of Wheelersburg and continues north towards the town. Following an intersection with Ohio River Road, the route heads east into the countryside in Scioto County and passes through the community of Powellsville into Lawrence County. State Route 650 branches off from the route and heads south. Meanwhile, State Route 522 enters into Wayne National Forest. The route goes through the densely wooded areas and by some lakes until it terminates with State Route 93.
