Ohio State Route 716
State Route 716 (SR 716, OH 716) is a state highway in the western part of the U.S. state of Ohio. Its southern terminus is at State Route 705 in the village of Osgood in northeastern Darke County. The northern terminus of State Route 716 is at State Route 274 in the village of Chickasaw in southeastern Mercer County. For its entire length, State Route 716 runs parallel to, and approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) to the east of, U.S. Route 127.
The highway was assigned in 1937 on a routing from State Route 705 in Osgood to an unnumbered highway in Franklin Township. The route was truncated to its current northern terminus in 1973. State Route 716 has remained intact ever since.

Famous quotes containing the words ohio, state and/or route:
“Heaven is not one of your fertile Ohio bottoms, you may depend on it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“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)
