OHIO STATE ROUTE 176
(Redirected from Jennings Freeway)
'State Route 176' (SR 176) is partially a limited-access highway. From 1968 it originally functioned as an exit off of I-71 and side streets, terminating at Denison Road, to serve the business in the Industrial Valley, but as traffic volumes to suburbs like Parma and Parma Heights increased, and to relieve traffic from I-77 to I-480, the freeway, the 'Jennings Freeway', was extended as originally planned to I-480 and Brookpark Road SR 17 in 1998, making an easier route for downtown workers from the Parma area to get to and from work. South of SR 17, the route is a grade-level road to its southern terminus.
Formerly applied to the Jennings Freeway section of SR 176, 'Route 176J' is the section of Broadview Road between Brookpark Road (SR 17) in Brooklyn and Pearl Road (U.S. Route 42) in the Old Brooklyn neighborhood of Cleveland which formerly carried SR 176. This roadway is intended to be turned over from the state system to the local governments ("J" suffix = "awaiting abandonment") at which time the designation will be retired.[1][2]
