Spring Grove is unusual because the incorporated town is largely surrounded by Richmond and sits directly along Chester Boulevard/U.S. 27.
The Town's current official website describes Spring Grove as surrounded by Richmond and identifies Chester Boulevard as U.S. 27.

Driving in Spring Grove: Chester Boulevard and Richmond
Chester Boulevard / U.S. 27
The Town's current website specifically identifies Chester Boulevard as U.S. 27.
This is Spring Grove's defining traffic feature.
Drivers using U.S. 27 can move quickly between:
Richmond's larger urban street system.
Spring Grove's incorporated limits.
Professional and residential properties.
I-70-area travel farther north.
A Town Enclosed by Richmond
Spring Grove states that Richmond annexed surrounding territory and that the town is now effectively enveloped by the larger city.
For drivers, that means municipal boundaries are not obvious from the road.
A driver should not assume that every location with a Richmond postal address is legally inside Richmond rather than Spring Grove.
That distinction can matter for:
Municipal ordinances.
Local property access.
Which agency issued a citation.
The exact location shown on the ticket.
Waterfall Road and Local Access
Historical INDOT mapping identifies Waterfall Road at Spring Grove along the U.S. 27 corridor.
The traffic-volume information on that map is historical and should not be used as current data, but the local roadway geography remains useful.
2026 Downtown Revitalization Eligibility
Spring Grove is included among the incorporated Wayne County communities eligible for the 2026 READI Downtown Revitalization Program.
Again, this is building-rehabilitation funding rather than a general roadway-construction project.
BMV Services for Spring Grove Drivers
Spring Grove does not have a BMV branch.
