History

The SR 676 designation was established in 1937. It has utilized the same routing between SR 555 near Chesterhill and SR 7 near Marietta throughout its history. Initially, the entire length of SR 676 was a gravel roadway.[3][4] In 1947, the easternmost stretch of SR 676 between County Road 183 (CR 183) and SR 7 was paved.[6][7] Four years later, the highway was hard-surfaced between the present SR 339 junction, at the time designated as SR 76, and CR 183.[8][9] The remaining gravel portion of SR 676 between SR 555 and the current SR 339 intersection was paved by 1961.[10][11]
