State Route 304 (SR 304) is an east–west state highway in the northeastern portion of Ohio, a U.S. state. The western terminus of SR 304 is at a signalized intersection with US 422 in Girard. Its eastern terminus is at the Pennsylvania State Line nearly 3 miles (4.8 km) east of Hubbard, where the highway continues east as Pennsylvania Route 318.
Created in the early 1930s, SR 304 traverses the northern suburban portions of the Youngstown area. The state highway generally runs in parallel with Interstate 80 for its entire length.
SR 304 begins at a signalized intersection in downtown Girard at the junction of Churchhill Road and North State Street. North State Street carries US 422 through Girard. The state route heads east from here on a two-lane road passing through mostly residential neighborhoods while in Girard. At the city limits, SR 304 crosses over the SR 11 freeway without an interchange and enters Liberty Township. In the center of the township, SR 304 intersects SR 193 also called Belmont Avenue. The area surrounding the intersection contains more commercial businesses and a cemetery but as SR 304 continues east, it reenters a mostly residential setting. After traveling due east for about 4 miles (6.4 km), the route curves slightly to the east-southeast and crosses over I-80 without an interchange. At this point, the route also enters Hubbard Township and has a grade crossing with a Norfolk Southern railroad.
