Ohio State Route 239
State Route 239 (SR 239, OH 239) is a short north–south state highway in the southern part of the U.S. state of Ohio. The southern terminus of State Route 239 is at U.S. Route 52, and its northern terminus is at the State Route 73/State Route 104 duplex. Both endpoints are situated near West Portsmouth.
Created in the mid 1920s, State Route 239 mainly provides access from the southbound direction of the State Route 73/State Route 104 duplex to westbound U.S. Route 52, and vice versa. The highway is also prone to flooding during heavy rains, which are created by the backups of Scioto River water flowing into Ohio River.

Famous quotes containing the words ohio, state and/or route:
“All inquiry into antiquity, all curiosity respecting the Pyramids, the excavated cities, Stonehenge, the Ohio Circles, Mexico, Memphis,—is the desire to do away this wild, savage, and preposterous There and Then, and introduce in its place the Here and Now.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The law of nature is alternation for evermore. Each electrical state superinduces the opposite. The soul environs itself with friends, that it may enter into a grander self-acquaintance or solitude; and it goes alone for a season, that it may exalt its conversation or society.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
