History
editSR 764 was designated in 1946. Its original routing followed the entirety of its existing alignment, along with the short portion of SR 241 that follows Triplett Boulevard on the north side of Akron-Fulton International Airport between Seiberling Street and Massillon Road.[2][3]
In 2009, SR 241 was re-routed north of SR 764 off of Massillon Road, and onto Seiberling Street approximately four blocks to the west. Consequently, SR 241 was routed over the former easternmost four blocks of SR 764 to connect to the north–south segment of SR 241. SR 764 was thus shortened as its new eastern terminus was moved to its new junction with SR 241 at the intersection of Triplett Boulevard and Seiberling Street.[5]
