Route description

History
editSR 339 was established in 1933. It was initially a spur route that ran along its present alignment from its northern terminus at SR 821, at the time a part of US 21, southwesterly to approximately its southern intersection with County Road 75 (CR 75) in southern Noble County.[2][3] This would only be temporary, as in 1935 the highway was extended southwesterly to a new southern terminus at its eastern junction with SR 60, then designated as SR 77, in Beverly.[5][6]
In 1972, as a result of the designation of Interstate 76 (I-76) to Ohio, the SR 76 designation was eliminated. The route northwest of Beverly was given the designation of SR 83, while the portion south of Beverly became an extension of SR 339, which now ended at its present southern terminus at SR 618 near Belpre.[7][8]
