Ohio State Route 220

SR 220 begins at a T-intersection with SR 772 in Pebble Township. The route heads east through a rural, hilly area passing near the {{convert|1200|ft|m|adj=mid|-high}} Combs Knob and Sponyers Knob.{{Cite map |publisher=United States Geological Survey |title=Piketon Quadrangle, Ohio |year=2013 |scale=1 : 24,000 |series=7.5 Minute Series |type=Topographic map |access-date=August 26, 2014 |url=http://ims.er.usgs.gov/gda_services/download?item_id=5965154 }}{{Dead link|date=May 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} SR 220 enters Pee Pee Township and descends {{convert|300|ft|m}} into the valley formed by the Pee Pee Creek at the community of Daleyville. The route intersects the western terminus of SR 551 next to Lake White. SR 220 runs along the northwestern edge of the lake and along the base of a {{convert|300|ft|m|adj=mid|-high}} hill before reaching SR 552 at the northernmost point of the lake. Now no longer bounded by the lake, SR 220 begins to climb in elevation again before turning to the east towards Waverly. After entering the Waverly passing the Waverly High School campus, the road descends again, crosses the Crooked Creek, and enters downtown Waverly. Prior to this point, SR 220 was routed along North Street in Waverly. At the intersection with Market Street, SR 220 turns right onto it. At Emmitt Avenue, SR 220 intersects US 23, SR 104 and the northern terminus of SR 335 (though SR 335 heads north from this point). SR 220 continues southeast on Market Street for two more blocks before turning left onto West 3rd Street for two blocks, and heading south on Bridge Street out of Waverly. After exiting Waverly, it briefly reenters Pee Pee Township before crossing the Scioto River and entering Seal Township. In the community of Greggs Hill, SR 220 passes under two railroad overpasses and makes an S-curve before continuing south. For the remainder of the route, the route heads nearly due south east of Piketon and through Zahns Corner before ending at an intersection with the four-lane divided SR 32 and SR 124 (also called the James A. Rhodes Appalachian Highway). The road continues south as Pike County Route 81, Schuster Road.{{google maps |url=https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=OH-220+W&daddr=39.1280928,-83.0247835+to:OH-32+E&hl=en&ll=39.09239,-83.03756&spn=0.114579,0.222988&sll=39.083439,-83.050804&sspn=0.114594,0.222988&geocode=FdWcVAId9MkL-w%3BFRwMVQIdcSQN-ynNo5ElaQJHiDFH_cmImqkawg%3BFVLpUwIdEhYO-w&mra=dpe&mrsp=1&sz=13&via=1&t=m&z=13 |accessdate=August 26, 2014}}

In 1923, the route south of Waverly that had been a part of the state highway system since 1912 (as SR 367) was renumbered to SR 220.{{cite map |title=Map of Ohio Showing Inter-County Highways |url=http://www.dot.state.oh.us/Divisions/TransSysDev/Innovation/prod_services/Documents/StateMaps/otm1912a.sid |format=MrSID |publisher=Ohio State Highway Department |year=1912 |cartography=James R.

SR 220 Truck is a truck route in and around Waverly so that trucks can bypass several turns in the downtown area while heading to and from US 23. The {{convert|2.1|mi|km|adj=mid|-long}} truck route begins at the intersection of SR 220, US 23, SR 104, SR 335 in the center of Waverly. The route heads south along US 23 (Emmitt Avenue) before turning southeast onto Pride Drive, northeast onto West 2nd Street, and southeast onto Depot Street before ending at SR 220 south of downtown Waverly.{{google maps |url=https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=N+Market+St&daddr=39.1145952,-82.9946296+to:Bridge+St&hl=en&ll=39.12019,-82.98918&spn=0.028633,0.055747&sll=39.114079,-82.984929&sspn=0.014318,0.027874&geocode=FXIHVQIdfr4N-w%3BFWPXVAIdO5oN-ylvRaaUAQJHiDFj6vTBj4_CqA%3BFR7XVAIdW8sN-w&t=h&mra=dpe&mrsp=1&sz=16&via=1&z=15 |link=no |title=Ohio State Route 220 Truck |accessdate=August 26, 2014}} Another branch of the truck route extends southwest along West 2nd Street to end at US 23 further south of the Pride Street intersection where the main truck route runs.{{cite web |url=https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=N+Market+St&daddr=39.1145952,-82.9946296+to:Bridge+St&hl=en&ll=39.11015,-82.997546&spn=0.028638,0.055747&sll=39.114079,-82.984929&sspn=0.014318,0.027874&geocode=FXIHVQIdfr4N-w%3BFWPXVAIdO5oN-ylvRaaUAQJHiDFj6vTBj4_CqA%3BFR7XVAIdW8sN-w&t=m&mra=dpe&mrsp=1&sz=16&via=1&z=15&layer=c&cbll=39.110242,-82.997368&panoid=OfYyA2mBUmdQyfUG-rWFbw&cbp=12,67.72,,0,-0.44 |date=October 2013 |access-date=August 26, 2014 |title=Google StreetView imagery at intersection of US 23 and West 2nd Street |publisher=Google Maps}}
