Wikipedia / Ohio State Route 60

State Route 60 (SR 60) is a northsouth state highway that runs the entire length of the U.S. state of Ohio, from the Williamstown Bridge over the Ohio River in Marietta to U.S. Route 6 (US 6) near Lake Erie in Vermilion. It is the seventh longest state route in Ohio.

Heading south from Vermilion, SR60 traverses rural North Central Ohio while connecting Vermilion, New London, Ashland, and Loudonville. South of Loudonville, SR60 enters more hilly country, before entering the Muskingum River Valley at Dresden. It closely parallels the Muskingum River for the remainder of its journey to Marietta except for an stretch in Morgan County where it moves inland to avoid bends in the river.

Markers for SR60 are not posted south of the Greene Street/3rd Street intersection in Marietta. SR60 is unsigned along SR7/ Greene Street and the Williamstown Bridge approach.

History

Parts of SR60 were once signed as SR77. In order to eliminate a numerical duplication with an Interstate highway in Ohio having the same number, Interstate 77, SR77 was renumbered in part as SR60.
