Ohio State Route 160

(Redirected from SR 160 (OH))

State Route 160 (SR 160) is a north–south state highway in the southeastern portion of the U.S. state of Ohio. Its southern terminus is at SR 7 in Gallipolis, and the route heads north. It meets U.S. Route 35 at an interchange with various collector and distributor ramps. SR 160 southbound bypasses the interchange on a 0.739-mile-long (1.189 km) road officially designated SR 160-A.[1] From there, the route passes through Vinton in northern Gallia County. Following an intersection with SR 32, the route heads in a more westerly direction until it meets and its northern terminus is at State Route 93 in Hamden.
