Western Terminus


The western terminus of OH 2 is at the Indiana State Line southwest of Hicksville in rural southwestern Defiance County. Upon crossing the state line, OH 2, which is signed as an east-west route, becomes IN 37, a north-south highway. In 14 miles, IN 37 will meet the Fort Wayne By-Pass, I-469.

Eastern Terminus


 
OH 2, whose easternmost 40 miles between downtown Cleveland and Painesville is entirely freeway, has its eastern terminus at a partial interchange with US 20 northeast of Painesville. The first picture shows the guide sign announcing the upcoming end to OH 2 in 1 mile. The second picture features the sign truss 0.75 mile from the terminus, which has a FREEWAY ENDS 0.75 MILE advisory sign and a sign showing that all OH 2 East traffic will converge into the right lane, then default into US 20 East. There is no access from OH 2 East to US 20 West.
