Route description

All of SR 369 is situated within Bethel Township in the southwestern quadrant of Clark County. The route starts at an interchange with SR 4 approximately two and a half miles (4.0 km) northeast of Enon. SR 369 serves as a continuation of Lower Valley Pike, which enters the interchange from the North of SR 4, the west side of SR 369 abuts a residential subdivision, while the east side of the route straddles the western portion of the county–maintained George Rogers Clark Park. As the highway proceeds north of the park boundary, both sides of the highway are lined with houses, leading up to the point where it comes to an end at US 40 nearly one and a half miles (2.4 km) east of Donnelsville. Continuing to the north of the U.S. route following the terminus of SR 369 is Tecumseh Road.[4]

SR 369 is maintained by the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT). As a part of its duties in maintaining this highway, ODOT tracks the volume of traffic using it by a metric called the average annual daily traffic (AADT). This measurement determines the amount of traffic utilizing a particular stretch of the roadway on a typical day of the year. A 2008 AADT report shows that the busiest stretch of SR 369 is the portion in the vicinity of the SR 4 interchange, at the Lower Valley Pike transition, where typically 2,900 passenger vehicles and 220 commercial vehicles use the highway on a daily basis.[5] The AADT along the portion of SR 369 between SR 4 and US 40 was determined to be 1,580 passenger vehicles and 120 commercial vehicles.[5] SR 369 is not included within the National Highway System.[6]

History

SR 369 was first designated in 1934. Originally, the route was a spur route off of US 40 that served George Rogers Clark Park.[2][3] In 1959, with the relocation of SR 4 onto a new freeway alignment along the north side of the Mad River through this vicinity, the southern terminus of SR 369 was reconfigured such that the highway met the new freeway at an interchange at the south end of the park.[7][8]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Bethel Township, Clark County.
