Ohio State Route 821
State Route 821 (SR 821, OH 821) is a north–south state highway in the southeastern portion of the U.S. state of Ohio. A relic of the old U.S. Route 21, its southern terminus is at State Route 60 approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) north of Marietta, and its northern terminus is at Interstate 77 in Byesville, along with the eastern terminus of SR 209. The route is entirely undivided surface road, and is much less direct than the newer Interstate 77 which supplanted it as a through route. As the interstate was being built, the designation of U.S. Route 21 was moved to the freeway before Ohio wholly decommissioned the now-superfluous U.S. route. SR 821 was designated about two years after US 21 was moved onto I-77 in southeastern Ohio.
