Ohio State Route 734
East-west state highway in Ohio, US
State Route 734 (SR 734) is a state highway in Greene and Fayette Counties in central Ohio. The 16.57-mile-long (26.67 km) route runs from SR 72 in downtown Jamestown east to SR 38 near Jeffersonville and Bloomingburg.
Route description
The state route begins at a signalized intersection in Jamestown where Washington Street and Limestone Street (SR 72) intersect. SR 734 heads east out of town and begins to climb a small hill. About halfway up the hill, the route makes a left turn, old US 35 continues straight. Passing through farmlands and small clusters of residences, the route passes over a freeway carrying US 35; no interchange is present at this overpass. After crossing into Fayette County, the route heads east through flat farmlands with occasional homes and bridges over small streams. Upon entering Jeffersonville, the route name carries High Street into the downtown area of the village. At an intersection with Main Street, SR 734 turns right and forms a concurrency with State Routes 41 and 729. Main Street, carrying the three routes, heads southeast, but the road curves to due east and becomes known as State Street.

Why this record matters
“Ohio State Route 734” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Ohio, State and Route provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 24, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q16973908. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
