State Route 159 (SR 159) is a northeast-southwest state highway (signed north–south) in the south-central portion of the U.S. state of Ohio. Its southern terminus is in Chillicothe at the U.S. Route 50 and State Route 104 concurrency; its northern terminus is at U.S. Route 22 approximately Template:Convert southwest of Lancaster.
History
SR 159 was original signed in 1923, on much of its current alignment.[1][2] In 1927 the route was extended south to US 23, along the alignment of former State Route 27.[3][4] The first section of road paved was in 1933 and it was a section from the southern terminus to Meade.[5][6] In 1935 the second section was paved between Meade and Tarlton.[7][8] The final section of the roadway was paved between Tarlton and the northern terminus, in 1938.[9][10] The route was extended north to its current terminus along the former alignment of U.S. Route 22, in 1971.[11][12] In 1972 the highway was extended south to its current terminus along the former alignment of U.S. Route 23.[12][13]
A construction project in Ross County added two roundabouts at a new intersection with SR 207 and the intersection of SR 180. Construction began in October 2019 and was completed the following October.[14][15][16]
