State Route 561 is a north-south state highway in the southwestern portion of the U.S. state of Ohio. Its southern terminus is at U.S. Route 50 approximately 9 miles east of Downtown Cincinnati – this point also serves as the western termini for both State Route 32 and State Route 125; the route’s northern terminus is just 0.3 miles west of its intersection with State Route 4 at Vine Street in Cincinnati’s Carthage neighborhood. The route takes many different names along its length, being first known as Linwood Avenue, Observatory Avenue, and Edwards Road in Cincinnati; then it is named Smith Road and Carthage Avenue as it passes through Norwood; its final stretch in Cincinnati once again is as Seymour Avenue.
