Route Description
This state highway runs exclusively within Beaver Township in southeastern Mahoning County. State Route 626 is not included within the National Highway System.
State Route 626 begins at the intersection of State Route 165 and County Road 26 (E. South Range Road) approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) southeast of North Lima. Running northwesterly from that intersection, the two-lane state route passes a number of houses, with woods abutting the roadway along the way. At Miley Road, the highway turns to the north-northwest, and passes just to the west of the partial Interstate 680 interchange off of the Ohio Turnpike (Interstate 76). State Route 626 then bends to the northwest, and comes into a T-intersection with State Route 164. Here, State Route 626 turns to the northeast, and runs concurrently with State Route 164 for less than 0.1 miles (0.16 km) to cross the Ohio Turnpike, then resumes its solo trek to the northwest. The route passes by a couple of commercial buildings as it departs the intersection, then travels amidst a blend of wooded terrain and open fields with scattered homes along the way. State Route 626 intersects County Road 30 (E. Calla Road), then continues in a northwesterly fashion, crossing railroad tracks and then passing by the Kreps Road intersection. Next, the highway passes into a more heavily residential setting, and intersects a number of side streets. Finally, State Route 626 passes a couple of commercial businesses as it enters from the southeast into a five-approach signalized intersection approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) south of Boardman that marks its endpoint, where it meets State Route 7, which traverses the intersection north-to-south, and County Road 32 (Western Reserve Road), which passes through it east-to-west.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space—out of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“I fancy it must be the quantity of animal food eaten by the English which renders their character insusceptible of civilisation. I suspect it is in their kitchens and not in their churches that their reformation must be worked, and that Missionaries of that description from [France] would avail more than those who should endeavor to tame them by precepts of religion or philosophy.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
