State Road 8 in the U.S. State of Indiana consists of two disconnected segments that were never connected.
Contents |
The western segment of State Road 8 connects State Road 2 and U.S. Route 231 in Hebron with State Road 17 near Plymouth. It is 42 miles (68 km) long.
The eastern segment of State Road 8 is 34 miles (55 km) long, and it connects State Road 9 in Albion to the Ohio state line at Ohio State Route 18.
In the early 1940s, the road's western terminus was at the Illinois state line, becoming Exchange Street. It was truncated eastward to US 41 in St. John in the 1970s. From St. John to Hebron, it was concurrent to US 231. SR 8 was later truncated to its junction with US 231 in Hebron, eliminating the concurrency.
In the 1950s, SR 8 started in Lake Wawasee at State Road 13 Alternate and continued east to the Ohio state line. That later formed another discontinuous section of SR 8, until that section was deleted in the 1970s.
