Ohio Route 255 - Woodsfield to Sardis

17 McR Points

Motorcycle Type : Cruiser

Great road for the adventurous types. Not for amateurs. Along with 536 this is one of the top roads in SE Ohio. I rode this in the summer of 2014 and highly recommend it. There's plenty of tight corners and fun riding. Watch the gravel and rough patches! The traffic was very light but the roads condition was pretty rough. Like most SE Ohio roads, it's surrounded by beautiful hills, valleys and forestry. I can't remember any stops along the route for pics but then again I was probably lost in the joy of riding and taking mental pictures instead. Gas up in Woodsfield or somewhere on route 7.

Update from Ohio’s Road Ranger (July 30th, 2020): This road is now a work in progress. www.ohgo.com shows that it should be largely done by late August. We’ll see, because it's been pretty much crap for the last odd years. As of now, July 2020, it’s not too bad, but it’s not done yet.

255 can be hit or miss. Close to 800 it's pretty damned interesting, however the closer you get to Ohio Rt. 7 the pavement deteriorates a bit, the gravel starts showing up a bit more and there's sometimes construction on that part. Still wholly worth the ride, but it's not exactly jaw dropping. Great views, though.

Several of the roads need some attention out in southeastern Ohio, but this road surface would have to improve just to be terrible. It's a mess right now... potholes, gravel, very rough road. I'll avoid it until it's repaved. Hopefully someone can give us an update if it ever happens.
