From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
State Route 140 is an east-west highway in southern Ohio connecting parts of Scioto, Lawrence, and Jackson counties. Its western terminus is in Portsmouth at U.S. Route 52 and its eastern terminus is at State Route 93 three miles south of Oak Hill.
State Route 140 begins at an interchange with U.S. Route 52 and, immediately following the interchange, leaves the Portsmouth corporation limits and heads east. The route makes a quick hilly climb upward and downward to the former Teays River Valley; it then traverses primarily wooded areas as it passes through South Webster and retains the forested area up until its eastern terminus. For most of its alignment, State Route 140 parallels an abandoned Baltimore and Ohio Railroad line.
