1931-1940 (as State Route 288)
State Route 640 (SR 640) is an east–west state highway in the northeastern portion of the U.S. state of Ohio. SR 640 has its western terminus is at a signalized intersection with SR 283 (Lakeshore Boulevard) in Willowick. Its eastern terminus is in downtown Willoughby at a signalized intersection where it meets US 20 and SR 174, the latter of which has its northern terminus at this same intersection.
Located entirely within the western part of Lake County, SR 640 serves the northeastern Cleveland suburbs of Willowick, Eastlake and Willoughby. Known as Vine Street for its entire length, this stretch of roadway carried the designation of SR 288 prior to being re-designated as SR 640 in the early 1940s.
SR 640 runs entirely within western Lake County in the northeastern suburbs of Cleveland. Starting at the highway's western terminus, the highway is three lanes with a center turn lane. The highway widens to four lanes when it crosses into Eastlake, and remains four lanes for the remainder of its length. The highway passes mostly chain retailers and apartment complexes along its length. It passes just north of Classic Park near the intersection with SR 91 (S.O.M. Center Road).
