State Route 531 {SR 531) is an east-west state highway in Ohio. Its western terminus is at the northern terminus of SR 534 in Geneva-on-the-Lake, and its eastern terminus is at the northern terminus of SR 7 in Conneaut. SR 531 is the longest of three Ohio State Highways which begin and end in Ashtabula County. Following mostly along the Lake Erie shoreline, it is appropriately named Lake Rd. for most of its length. Due to its proximity to the shoreline, sections west of Ashtabula have had to be rerouted as a result of lake erosion. The route crosses the Ashtabula River in Ashtabula via a drawbridge.
