Ohio State Route 625
State Route 625 (SR 625, OH 625) is a state route in northeastern Ohio that exists entirely within Mahoning County. The western terminus of OH 625 is at US 224 in Boardman, and its eastern terminus is at US 62 in the southwestern portion of Youngstown. OH 625 is signed east–west. However, in its current layout, the highway is orientated north–south.
Until July 2008, OH 625 continued east via US 62, Glenwood Avenue, and Midlothian Boulevard, across I-680 and concurrent with OH 170 for a short distance before coming to an end where OH 170 turns off from Midlothian Boulevard onto Youngstown-Poland Road. In 2008, OH 625 was truncated to its current endpoint, and the portions of OH 625 along Glenwood Avenue and Midlothian Boulevard west of I-680 became an extension of OH 170.

Famous quotes containing the words ohio, state and/or route:
“This fair homestead has fallen to us, and how little have we done to improve it, how little have we cleared and hedged and ditched! We are too inclined to go hence to a “better land,” without lifting a finger, as our farmers are moving to the Ohio soil; but would it not be more heroic and faithful to till and redeem this New England soil of the world?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Along the highway, all but lost among blatant neon lights flashing ‘Whiskey’ and ‘Dance and Dine,’ are crudely daubed warnings erected by itinerant evangelists, announcing that ‘Jesus is soon coming,’ or exhorting the traveler to ‘prepare to meet thy God.’”
—For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“no arranged terror: no forcing of image, plan,
or thought:
no propaganda, no humbling of reality to precept:
terror pervades but is not arranged, all possibilities
of escape open: no route shut,”
—Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
