Established in the late 1930s, SR 701 is a two-lane route that serves as an eastward continuation of SR 309, which runs due east out of Lima. SR 701 picks up along the same east–west alignment when SR 309 turns southeasterly in the direction of Kenton.

Route description

Houses at Blanchard

The entirety of SR 701 runs within rural territory in the northern half of

CSX railway line, after which it meets TR 145 prior to arriving at its endpoint at US 68. Continuing to the east of US 68 following the end of SR 701 is CR 70.[4][5]

Maintenance of SR 701 falls under the jurisdiction of the

average annual daily traffic (AADT). The AADT identifies the amount of traffic using a particular stretch of highway on any average day of the year. As determined in a 2010 survey by ODOT, an average of 430 passenger vehicles and 90 commercial vehicles travel the length of SR 701 on a daily basis.[6] SR 701 is not included within the National Highway System (NHS). The NHS is a network of routes that are determined to be most important for the economy, mobility and defense of the nation.[7]

History

The SR 701 designation was applied in 1937. Throughout its history, SR 701 has utilized the same alignment through in the northern half of Hardin County. It has been paved since it was first established. The only change to have taken place related to SR 701 is that the route that it met at its western terminus when first designated was the predecessor to SR 309, US 30S.[2][3]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Hardin County.
