Created in the late 1960s, SR 184, which travels through Sylvania and Toledo, is known as Alexis Road from end-to-end.

For its entire length, it runs approximately 0.75 miles (1.21 km) to the south of, and parallel to, the Michigan State Line.

For its entire length, SR 184 runs within the northern portion of Lucas County.

It was designated along what was formerly, dually, a bypass route of US 24 and US 25, running from its present western terminus at the US 23 freeway in Sylvania to its intersection with Detroit Avenue, then a part of US 25, in Toledo.

[2][3] Six years after it was established, SR 184 was extended east from the Detroit Avenue intersection to its current terminus at the northernmost interchange along I-75 in Ohio.
