United States Highway 33 is a north-south United States highway that runs northwest-southeast for 709 miles (1,141 km) from northern Indiana to Richmond, Virginia. It continues east in Virginia as Virginia State Highway 33 to Stingray Point, on the Chesapeake Bay near Deltaville, Virginia.

Termini and history

As of 2004, the highway's northern terminus is Dunlap, Indiana at U.S. Highway 20. Its southern terminus is Richmond, Virginia. It has had termini at St. Joseph, Michigan, at the junction of the old U.S. Highway 12, was extended to a junction with Interstate 196 (no identifiable town) north of St. Joseph, and truncated at Niles, Michigan (junction U.S. Highway 12 at Niles, Michigan), and at present at Dunlap, Indiana. Before its truncation it passed through South Bend, Indiana.

Former segments of US 33 are now known as Michigan State Highway 63, Michigan State Highway 51, and Indiana State Highway 933. Between South Bend and Fort Wayne it was part of the Lincoln Highway.

A segment of US 33 between Huntsville, Ohio (near Bellefontaine) and Dublin, Ohio is freeway. Dublin is a northwestern suburb of Columbus, where US 33 meets Interstate 270. Another segment of US 33 around Lancaster, Ohio is being relocated to a new freeway facility, and a bypass is also proposed for Nelsonville. The State of Ohio plans eventually to make US 33 a controlled-access freeway from the Interstate 75 interchange near Wapakoneta to Athens, Ohio, except for the section inside the Columbus beltway.

The Darwin connector in Darwin, Ohio is now open.

US 33 from Interstate 77 east to the east side of Elkins, West Virginia is 4 lane, built to Appalachian Development Highway System and is part of Corridor H.

At the eastern end, the continuation east in Virginia from Richmond as Virginia State Highway 33 has caused some confusion and mislabeling on maps as US-33, rather than VA-33.
