History
{{Expand section|date=October 2015}}
Prior to the completion of Ronald Reagan Cross County Highway in 1997, the central portion of State Route 126 between Ross and Montgomery consisted of West Kemper Road, Springfield Pike (State Route 4), Glendale Milford Road, Kenwood Road, and Cooper Road.{{cite map|title=Hamilton County Street Map|author=Engels Maps|author-link=Engels Maps|publisher=Huff Reality|year=1997|scale=1½ in : 1 mi|sections=L-51, R-55}} On October 28, 1997, the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) took over Ronald Reagan Highway, except for the segment west of Colerain Avenue.{{cite news|title=Cross County speeds miles, spans years|department=News|first=France|last=Griggs|work=The Cincinnati Post|publisher=E.
