Between 1979 and 1981, the route was extended to Salem along what was SR 558, SR 558 was also rerouted to the south along some of the former SR 344. In that same year, the highway was rerouted between former SR 558 and Leetonia along a previously unnumbered road. No significant changes have taken place to this state route since 1981.
