Route description

SR 753 begins at an unsignalized

T-intersection with SR 41 in Brush Creek Township. The intersection is near the Fort Hill State Memorial and is located between the unincorporated community of Cynthiana and the village of Sinking Spring. The route heads north-northwest towards the community of Carmel where it intersects SR 506 at its eastern terminus. After passing around the eastern end of Rocky Fork Lake and its eponymous state park, the route comes to an intersection with US 50. SR 753 turns right onto US 50 forming a concurrency for about 1 mile (1.6 km). Upon entering Rainsboro, SR 753 breaks off of US 50 at Barrett Mills Road and heads north towards New Petersburg. The route makes a sharp curve to the northeast at New Petersburg and heads through Paint Creek State Park and crosses Walnut Creek on a bridge. Shortly after the park, the route enters Greenfield, the name of the route becomes 7th Street and forms a concurrency with SR 138.[3]

At Jefferson Street (

US 22. SR 753 continues north and begins to curve around to the northwest before it ends at an intersection with US 62 and SR 3 northeast of downtown Washington Court House.[3]

History

SR 753 was first designated in 1937 on a route wholly located in Fayette County.

Interstate highways; in that year, SR 753 was extended south of Greenfield taking over the southern portion of SR 70 which was being deleted due to the presence of Interstate 70 in Ohio.[7] Construction started on an extension of the road from US 35 to US 22 in 1970; this extension was completed by 1972.[8][9] A $5 million project to extend SR 753 from US 22 to US 62 along Stuckey Road and a new right-of-way was completed in May 2014.[10]
