[edit] Route 79A
Route 79A is a 1.72-mile[1] alternate route of SR 79. Route 79A splits from SR 79 south of Hebron. SR 79 bypasses Hebron to the east, while Route 79A, or Business Route 79, runs through downtown Hebron as High Street. Route 79A follows High Street as it intersects Enterprise Drive, which ends, as Route 79A, at SR 79 north of Hebron.
[edit] Current Construction
Beginning on June 2, 2008, Ohio State Route 79 will be closed at its south terminus at the intersection with Ohio State Route 37 near Buckeye Lake for a period of 21 days. A new turn lane will be added and the road will be widened to help ease traffic flow and reduce accidents near the intersection. One house has already been cleared to make way for the project. Traffic will be detoured to State Route 158, State Route 204 and Interstate 70 during the closure period.
