Route description

State Route 770 is located entirely within the northern portion of Adams County. The route is not incorporated as a part of the National Highway System.[2]

History

1937 marked the year in which State Route 770 made its debut. Originally, the highway was routed from the intersection it has with Old State Route 32 approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) northeast of Seaman up to its current northern terminus at State Route 73. Heading west-to-east through the original southern terminus in 1937 was the former State Route 74, State Route 32's predecessor.[3][4] By 1981, with the completion of the new four-lane divided highway stretch of State Route 32 south of Seaman, the former stretch of two-lane State Route 32 between State Route 770's former southern terminus and State Route 247 in Seaman became an extension of State Route 770.[5][6]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Adams County.
