-'''State Route 228''' is a north-south [[state highway]] in the [[U.S. state]] of [[Ohio]].  Its southern terminus is at [[State Route 19 (Ohio)|State Route 19]] approximately {{convert|6|mi|km}} north of [[Republic, Ohio|Republic]], and its northern terminus is at [[State Route 101 (Ohio)|State Route 101]], approximately 6¼ south of [[Clyde, Ohio|Clyde]].  The route serves as a connector between State Route 19 and State Route 101 east and northeast of where the two routes intersect; State Route 19 jogs west from State Route 228's southern terminus, and State Route 101 traverses a southwest-northeast heading, creating a tight angle between the two routes.  [[State Route 778 (Ohio)|State Route 778]] serves a similar purpose west of this intersection.
