context_page_description: State Route 57 is a north–south state highway in northeast Ohio. SR 57 runs from U.S. Route 30 in Riceland to US 6 in Lorain, a distance of 61.2 miles.
context_section_description: SR 57 begins as a city street in downtown Lorain.  The four-lane highway travels towards Interstate 90 (I-90).  The one mile (1.6 km) stretch of the highway between I-90 and the Ohio Turnpike (I-80) in the city of Elyria is flanked on both sides with hotels, businesses and the Midway Mall. South of the Ohio Turnpike, the highway remains four lanes wide and continues south (concurrent with SR 113, SR 301, and US 20) through Elyria.  The highway connects with SR 10 just south of Elyria via highway interchange and separates from SR 301 and US 20. South of SR 10 the highway retains four lanes to its intersection with SR 82 where it narrows to a two-lane highway through the remainder of Lorain County and Medina County.
  As SR 57 traverses the rural communities of Medina County, it takes more of an east-southeast track as it joins and separates with SR 83 and SR 303. It then merges with SR 18 as it heads towards the city of Medina. SR 57 passes through Medina's town square and heads southeast as Wadsworth Road towards I-71 where it travels over the six-lane expressway en route to its southern terminus. SR 57 continues its path south passing through rural communities in Wayne County.  It intersects with I-76 near Wadsworth and continues south past the Wadsworth Municipal Airport, through Orrville on its way to the terminus in Riceland where it meets US 30 in Wayne County.
