History

State Route 522 was designated in 1947. The original routing of the state route followed the majority of today's routing, running from its junction with what was then a two-lane alignment of U.S. Route 52 (now known as Gallia Street) on the southern fringe of Wheelersburg to its present eastern terminus at what was then known as State Route 75 (now State Route 93).[2][3] In 1971, with the completion of a new four-lane expressway through the Wheelersburg vicinity, U.S. Route 52 was routed onto this expressway. State Route 522, in turn, was extended southerly along the former two-lane alignment of U.S. Route 52 to its present-day western terminus where this roadway meets the U.S. Route 52 expressway at a diamond interchange.[5][6]
