State Route 109 (SR 109) is a 52.94-mile (85.20 km) state route that runs between Ottawa and the Michigan state line in the US state of Ohio. It crosses a major river, the Maumee, east of Napoleon. Most of the route is a rural two-lane highway and passes through both farmland and residential properties.
The highway was first signed in 1930 on much the same alignment as today. SR 109 replaced the SR 65 designation, between SR 110 and the Michigan state line, that dates back to 1923. Some of the highway was paved in 1930, with the rest of the route being paved in 1939.
SR 109 heads north concurrent with SR 15 and SR 65, in downtown Ottawa. The route heads through the north side of downtown Ottawa as a two-lane highway with a center turn lane, passing through a mix of residential and commercial properties. The concurrency curves northeast and has a traffic signal at the northern end of the SR 15 concurrency, SR 15 heads northwest and the other two routes continues northeast. The concurrency end when SR 109 turns due north and SR 65 continues northeast. The highway passes through residential and commercial as a two-lane highway,before leaving Ottawa. The route passes through farmland, with some houses, and curves northeast.
The road curves back towards the north, before curving northwest, and having an intersection at SR 613. After the intersection with SR 613 the road crosses a Norfolk Southern Railroad track and makes a sharp turn due east. The highway heads east, before another sharp curve due north. The road enters Hamler from the south, passing through residential properties and has an at-grade crossing with CSX Railroad tracks. North of the tracks the road has an intersection with SR 18, this intersection is the southern end of the SR 18 concurrency. The concurrency leaves Hamler heading north through farmland, until SR 18 turns due west and SR 109 continues due north.
