State Route 734 (SR 734) is a state highway in Greene and Fayette Counties in central Ohio. The 16.57-mile-long (26.67 km) route runs from SR 72 in downtown Jamestown east to SR 38 near Jeffersonville and Bloomingburg.

Route description

The state route begins at a signalized intersection in Jamestown where Washington Street and Limestone Street (SR 72) intersect. SR 734 heads east out of town and begins to climb a small hill. About halfway up the hill, the route makes a left turn, old US 35 continues straight. Passing through farmlands and small clusters of residences, the route passes over a freeway carrying

grade crossing with an Indiana and Ohio Railway railroad, the routes pass two industrial facilities and some commercial businesses as they approach I-71's exit 69. The interchange with the Interstate highway is a simple diamond-interchange allowing for full-access between the surface roads and the freeway. Shortly after the interchange, SR 734 turns left off of SR 41 which continues south towards Washington Court House ending the concurrency. For the last segment of the route, the route travels through sparsely-populated farmland and ends in rural Paint Township at SR 38.[2]

History

SR 734 was first designated in 1937 on an alignment between then-SR 70 (now SR 41) east of Jeffersonville and its present eastern terminus at SR 38.[3][4] Within two years, the route was extended to the Jamestown area at US 35 and became fully asphalt-paved.[5] The route would remain on this alignment until 2003 when it was extended over the former US 35 into downtown Jamestown when US 35 was routed on a nearby freeway the same year.[6]
