History
SR 334 was first designated in 1969. At that time, it was routed between what was then designated as US 68 (now SR 72) and its current eastern terminus at SR 4.[2][3] By 1973, with the completion of the US 68 freeway around the western side of Springfield, SR 334 was extended west a short distance to its present western terminus at the interchange it has with the then-new routing of US 68.[7][8]
The 127th General Assembly designated and named SR 334 within Clark County as the "Lance Cpl. Kevin S. Smith Memorial Highway" in 2009.[9]
