History

In the early 20th century, SR 48 was assigned to completely unrelated routes within the state. From 1923 to 1927, it was the designation given to Barnesville–Hendrysburg, Barnesville–Woodsfield, and Woodsfield–Sistersville roads in eastern Ohio, now designated SR 800. Present-day SR 48 was previously signed as SR 50, and before that as Dayton–Covington and Dayton–Lebanon roads. (See 1923 Ohio state highway renumbering and 1927 Ohio state highway renumbering).

In I Love Lucy episode #111, "First Stop", the Ricardos and the Mertzes travel this route, although they were headed to Cincinnati.

On February 15, 2005, Governor Bob Taft signed Senate Bill 156, which designated SR 48 as U.S.A.F. Pararescue Memorial Parkway.[4] The route runs near the hometowns of four pararescuemen who were killed in action: William H. Pitsenbarger of Piqua, Sgt. Jim Locker of Sidney, Master Sgt. William McDaniel II of Greenville, and Airman 1st Class James Pleiman of Russia.[1][5] Memorial markers are installed as far south as Goshen Township in Clermont County.[2]

In 2010, SR 48 within the Loveland city limits was additionally designated as Captain Seth Mitchell Memorial Highway.[6] Mitchell, a Loveland resident, served in the War in Afghanistan and died in a helicopter crash in Helmand Province on October 26, 2009.[7]

SR 48-T
Map of SR 48-T

State Route 48 Temporary (SR 48-T, also called Future SR 48 and Bypass 48[8][9]) is a 1.87-mile-long (3.01 km)[10] partial bypass of Lebanon running from the SR 48 / SR 123 interchange to an intersection of US 42 and Miller Road. The four-lane divided roadway is a northern continuation of a divided highway segment of SR 48. The route was created by 1971 when a high-speed bypass of Lebanon was created.[11][12] SR 48-T is not signed as such; the northbound direction is signed as "To US 42 north" and the southbound direction is signed as "To SR 48 south."[13]

gollark: No.
gollark: How do you coordinate that?! They can't do that in countries with comparatively bad tech and much less land area/cultural variation/whatever.
gollark: With one world government this would not be possible unless it had strong devolution.
gollark: Additionally: normally, governments do somewhat different things, and we can use that to determine which things are better (very noisily).
gollark: If the one world government turns apioform there is nothing much you can do about it.
