The bill H. B. No. 2025-2026 proposes to enact section 5534.973 of the Revised Code, which designates a specific portion of State Route 5 in Portage County and Trumbull County as the "83rd Ohio Division Memorial Highway." This designation is in addition to any other names that may already be prescribed for the route. The section outlines that the eastbound and westbound lanes of State Route 5, located between State Route 59 and Interstate Route 80, will carry this memorial designation.
Furthermore, the bill authorizes the director of transportation to erect suitable markers along the highway to indicate its new name. This initiative aims to honor the contributions and sacrifices of the 83rd Ohio Division, ensuring that their legacy is recognized and remembered by travelers on this route.
