History
The original route was established in 1932; the route east of current State Route 175 was State Route 175 before 1929, and was then the former State Route 6 from 1929 to 1932.[2] In 1959, the portion ranging 4 miles (6.4 km) east of Downtown Cleveland to 3 miles (4.8 km) west of Euclid was upgraded to freeway and dually certified with State Route 2;[2] in 1962, interstate 90 certification was added to it.[2]
