History

SR 173 was commissioned in 1923, originally routed from SR 19. northeast of Louisville, to SR 19, south of Beloit.[2][3] In 1927 the route was rerouted onto the route of previous SR 19, through Alliance.[4][5] The route was extended west to its current western terminus, at SR 44, in 1937.[6][7] Between 1969 and 1971, SR 173 was rerouted concurrent with US 62 from west of Alliance to Salem.[8][9] In 1976 US 62 in Salem was rerouted to bypass the city and SR 173 remained on the old route of US 62.[10][11]
