Route description

OH 343 commences from a signalized intersection with US 68 in Yellow Springs. OH 343 generally traverses a rural backdrop through Miami Township, with a mix of woods and open fields, and the occasional house along the way. About 1-mile (1.6 km) east of US 68, OH 343 meets OH 370, the primary access route to John Bryan State Park, at its northern terminus. OH 343 continues east, then starts to trend southeasterly, brushing the northeastern portion of John Bryan State Park just prior to entering into Clifton. Upon crossing into Clifton, OH 343 briefly ducks into Clark County, but re-enters Greene County, as it turns easterly, following North Street through the village prior to coming to an end at a T-intersection with OH 72.[2]

History

OH 343 came into existence in 1933 along the routing that it currently occupies. No significant changes have taken place to OH 343 since its debut.[3] [4]
