State Road 263 is a business route of State Road 63 which runs through West Lebanon in Warren County, covering a distance of about 13 miles. It is an undivided two-lane road for its entire length. At the south end, it leaves State Road 63 just north of U.S. Route 136. For the next several miles it runs northeast, staying within a mile of the Wabash River to the east, and passes through the defunct river town of Baltimore. It then leaves the river and strikes north to West Lebanon, where it is concurrent with High Street. It intersects with State Road 28 at the north end of town, and re-joins State Road 63 north of Seeger Memorial Junior-Senior High School; the junction is just north of Division Road.

[edit] History

State Road 263 is a portion of the original route of State Road 63. The new four-lane divided highway was constructed in the early 1970s and was often called "New 63" by residents of the area; the resulting business route officially named State Road 263 was often called "Old 63". Some locals still use these names.
