You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.205.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:44, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''State Route 257''' ('''SR 257''', '''OH 257''') is a ((convert|26.19|mi|km|adj=on)) north - south [[state highway]] in the central portion of the [[U.S. state]] of [[Ohio]]. The highway's southern terminus is in the northwestern [[Columbus, Ohio|Columbus]] suburb of [[Dublin, Ohio|Dublin]] at a roundabout intersection with [[U.S. Route 33 (Ohio)|U.S. Route 33]] (US 33) and [[Ohio State Route 161|SR 161]]. This mainly two-lane highway follows the eastern side of the [[Scioto River]] from Dublin to its junction with [[U.S. Route 42 (Ohio)|US&nbsp;42]]. After crossing over the river with the U.S. highway, SR 257 parallels the river's western bank. SR 257 has its northern terminus at a [[T-intersection]] with [[Ohio State Route 47|SR 47]] on the western village limits of [[Prospect, Ohio|Prospect]]. SR 257 was created in 1926, and extended in 1935 and 1937.

Along its way, SR 257 travels primarily north through northwestern [[Franklin County, Ohio|Franklin County]], western [[Delaware County, Ohio|Delaware County]] and the extreme southern part of [[Marion County, Ohio|Marion County]], following the [[Scioto River]] for most of the way.<ref name=GoogleMaps/>

SR 257 starts at the intersection of [[U.S. Route 33|US 33]] / [[Ohio State Route 161|SR 161]]. The route moves north intersecting with Emerald Parkway. SR 257 continues north to Hard Road, and past [[Thaddeus Kosciuszko]] Park.  After crossing the Franklin–Delaware county line, the next major junction is with [[Ohio State Route 750|SR 750]] at the [[Columbus Zoo and Aquarium]] and the [[O'Shaughnessy Dam (Ohio)|O'Shaughnessy Dam]].  From here to US 42 the route follows the eastern bank of O'Shaughnessy Reservoir.  The next intersection is Seldom Seen Road. Two miles later, SR 257 meets Home Road at a [[traffic circle]]. Home Road provides access to [[Ohio State Route 745|SR 745]] heading west and to Sawmill Parkway and Liberty Rd heading east.<ref name=GoogleMaps/>

SR 257 continues north to signaled intersection with [[U.S. Route 42 in Ohio|US 42]] and runs concurrently with US 42 for about 1 mile within [[Concord Township, Delaware County, Ohio|Concord Township]]. The route travels southwest with US 42 across the Scioto River.  At the signalized northern terminus of SR 745 the concurrency ends, as SR 257 turns north. SR 257 passes through the former communities of Bellpoint (Concord Township) and White Sulfur Springs Station ([[Scioto Township, Delaware County, Ohio|Scioto Township]])<ref>http://www.forgottenoh.com/GhostTowns/delawareco.html |Ghost Towns of Delaware County| Accessed on 23 Apr 2014</ref> on the way to intersecting with [[U.S. Route 36 in Ohio|US 36]] about ((convert|3.5|mi|km)) north of US 42. Continuing north, SR 257 crosses [[Ohio State Route 37|SR 37]] at a flashing red light. After nine miles, the route crosses into Marion County prior to ending at [[Ohio State Route 47|OH 47]] in [[Prospect, Ohio|Prospect]], crossing minor roads within [[Thompson Township, Delaware County, OH|Thompson Township]] in between.<ref name=GoogleMaps>((Google maps|url=https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=Riverside+Dr&daddr=Riverside+Dr+to:Riverside+Dr+to:OH-257+N%2FRiverside+Dr+to:OH-257+N%2FRiverside+Dr+to:OH-257%2FRiverside+Dr+to:OH-257+N%2FRiverside+Dr+to:OH-257+N%2FUS-42+S+to:OH-257+N+to:OH-257+N+to:Prospect-Dublin+Rd&hl=en&ll=40.099018,-83.105693&spn=0.025934,0.055747&sll=40.450637,-83.192891&sspn=0.003225,0.006968&geocode=FRffYwIdhdgL-w%3BFbAGZAIdp9ML-w%3BFYUyZAIdz9gL-w%3BFQ-zZAId6aUL-w%3BFQ_4ZAId55gL-w%3BFfhcZQId5HEL-w%3BFeMYZgIdSEwL-w%3BFQYCZgIdqy4L-w%3BFQvAZgIdaxEL-w%3BFQVCZwIdjtkK-w%3BFT83aQIdZJAK-w&mra=mi&mrsp=10&sz=18&t=m&z=15|title=Ohio State Route 257|access-date=2013-08-18))</ref>

==History==
[[File:OH257 North Sign.jpg|thumb|290px|right|A sign denoting [[w:Ohio State Route 257|Ohio State Route 257]] in [[w:Dublin, Ohio|Dublin]].]]

The SR 257 designation was applied in 1926. Originally, the highway was routed along its present southernmost alignment along the eastern banks of the Scioto River between Dublin and its northeastern junction with US 42.<ref name=ODOT1925_map>((cite map |title=Map of Ohio Showing State Routes |url=http://www.dot.state.oh.us/Divisions/TransSysDev/Innovation/prod_services/Documents/StateMaps/otm1925a.sid |format=[[MrSID]] |publisher=Ohio Department of Highways and Public Works |date=August 1925 |cartography=ODHPW |access-date=2011-04-28))</ref><ref name=ODOT1926_map>((cite map |title=Map of Ohio Showing State Routes |url=http://www.dot.state.oh.us/Divisions/TransSysDev/Innovation/prod_services/Documents/StateMaps/otm1926a.sid |format=MrSID |publisher=Ohio Department of Highways and Public Works |date=August 1926 |cartography=ODHPW |access-date=2011-04-28))</ref>

In 1935, SR 257 was extended via a short concurrency with US 42 across the Scioto River, then north along its present alignment along the western side of the river to a new northern terminus at [[Ohio State Route 37|SR 37]] west of [[Delaware, Ohio|Delaware]].<ref name=ODOT1934_map>((cite map |title=Map of Ohio Showing State Highway System |url=http://www.dot.state.oh.us/Divisions/TransSysDev/Innovation/prod_services/Documents/StateMaps/otm1934a.sid |format=MrSID |publisher=Ohio Department of Highways |date=1934 |cartography=ODOH |access-date=2011-04-28 |archive-date=2010-12-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101229041629/https://www.dot.state.oh.us/Divisions/TransSysDev/Innovation/prod_services/Documents/StateMaps/otm1934a.sid |url-status=dead ))</ref><ref name=ODOT1935_map>((cite map |title=Official Ohio Highway Map |url=http://www.dot.state.oh.us/Divisions/TransSysDev/Innovation/prod_services/Documents/StateMaps/otm1935a.sid |format=MrSID |publisher=Ohio Department of Highways |date=1935 |cartography=ODOH |access-date=2011-04-28 |archive-date=2010-12-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101229041601/https://www.dot.state.oh.us/Divisions/TransSysDev/Innovation/prod_services/Documents/StateMaps/otm1935a.sid |url-status=dead ))</ref>  Then, two years after its first northward extension, SR 257 was extended to the north again, this time to its present northern terminus at SR 47 in Prospect.<ref name=ODOT1936_map>((cite map |title=Official Ohio Highway Map |url=http://www.dot.state.oh.us/Divisions/TransSysDev/Innovation/prod_services/Documents/StateMaps/otm1936a.sid |format=MrSID |publisher=Ohio Department of Highways |date=1936 |cartography=ODOH |access-date=2011-04-28))</ref><ref name=ODOT1937_map>((cite map |title=Official Ohio Highway Map |url=http://www.dot.state.oh.us/Divisions/TransSysDev/Innovation/prod_services/Documents/StateMaps/otm1937a.sid |format=MrSID |publisher=Ohio Department of Highways |date=1937 |cartography=ODOH |access-date=2011-04-28))</ref>
