Route description
No part of SR 340 is included within the National Highway System.[3][4]
History
SR 340 was first proposed in 1932 and 1933 as a road connecting Cumberland with Coal Ridge at what was then US 21.[5] By 1934, the route was shifted slightly south; it ran from Cumberland to Belle Valley.[6] In 1938, SR 340 took over the entire alignment of SR 673 which ran from Blue Rock to Cumberland, but once again, the eastern terminus was in Coal Ridge.[7] The eastern terminus was moved back to Belle Valley by 1940 and has remained there since.[8] Between 1962 and 1964, the section of roadway between Blue Rock and SR 284 was removed from the state highway system and the remaining route has been unchanged since.[9][10]
