Ohio State Route 821
State Route 821 is a north-south state highway in the southeastern portion of the U.S. state of Ohio. A relic of the old U.S. Route 21, it begins at the junction of State Route 60 approximately 2 miles north of Marietta, and extends to Interstate 77 in Byesville. The route is entirely undivided surface road, and is much less direct than the newer Interstate 77 which supplanted it as a through route. State Route 821 was designated about two years after US 21 was moved onto I-77 in southeastern Ohio. Cities and villages along SR 821 are Unionville, Whipple, Bonn, Lower Salem, Warner, Elba, Macksburg, Dexter City, South Olive, Dudley, Three Forks, Caldwell, Slaters, Belle Valley, Coal Ridge, Ava, Glenwood, Fairview and Byesville.
These photos show part of a series of sharp curves, the beginning in the left shot and ending in the right, south of Whipple and can be a treacherous piece of highway when the weather is bad or when a driver looses control.
