Trivia

At the interchange with U. S. Route 52 and State Route 93 in Ironton, there's a small tunnel in which State Route 75 (before it was State Route 93) used to pass through until the road was widened. A hill was cut just to the left of the tunnel. The tunnel is now closed and is a small historical attraction to remind people of Historical Route 75 with a small sign of State Route 75.
