[edit] History
State Route 37 is an original state highway that went from Lancaster to Marietta. In 1932, the route was extended to Findlay along its current route. In 1935, its eastern terminus was shortened to its current terminus, giving that route to State Route 78 and the now defunct State Route 77 (now part of State Route 60).
[edit] Current Construction
Beginning on June 2, 2008, Ohio State Route 37 will be closed at the intersection with Ohio State Route 79 near Buckeye Lake for a period of 21 days. A new turn lane will be added and the road will be widened to help ease traffic flow and reduce accidents near the intersection. One house has already been cleared to make way for the project. Traffic will be detoured to State Route 158, State Route 204 and Interstate 70 during the closure period.
