Ohio 2 is an east-west highway crossing most of northern Ohio. In the west, it merges into Indiana State Highway 37 between Harlan, Indiana and Hicksville, Ohio; in the east it meets U.S. Highway 20 near Painesville, Ohio.
It passes through Bryan, Ohio, Wauseon, Ohio, and Swanton, Ohio to the west of its interchange with the Ohio Turnpike before entering greater Toledo, Ohio. It continues east from greater Toledo and quickly parallells Lake Erie, becoming freeway near Port Clinton, Ohio. It then passes Sandusky, Ohio, where it meets U.S. Highway 6 and separates from the lakeshore as a freeway. Near Elyria, Ohio, it feeds into Interstate 90, whose route it shares through Cleveland to near Euclid, Ohio, Ohio 2 continuing to Painesville.
Ohio 2 serves as an access route to lakeshore attractions on Lake Erie from Toledo and Cleveland and as an alternative to the bland Ohio Turnpike.
