🚙 Drive America’s Highways for 2 miles north along Ohio Route 844 from Beavercreek to Fairborn, Ohio — along a short freeway linking I-675 with Wright State and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

Travel north along Ohio Route 844 for approximately 2 miles from Interstate 675 in Beavercreek to Ohio Route 444 in Fairborn. Although one of the shorter numbered highways in the Dayton area, OH-844 serves an important role as a direct freeway connection between I-675, the Wright State University area, and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The route begins at the I-675 interchange near North Fairfield Road, where northbound traffic separates from the interstate and follows OH-844 northeast toward Fairborn. Almost immediately, the surroundings shift away from the commercial development found around the interstate and toward the institutional and government properties surrounding Wright State and the Air Force base.

From I-675, OH-844 passes beneath North Fairfield Road before reaching the partial Colonel Glenn Highway interchange. The highway then runs along the eastern side of Wright State University, with the campus occupying much of the land immediately west of the route. Continuing north, OH-844 curves around the university area and reaches the interchange serving University Boulevard before turning toward Fairborn and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The roadway is a controlled-access highway throughout the drive, giving this very short route the character of a freeway connector rather than a typical surface-level Ohio state route.

The northern portion of the drive approaches Ohio Route 444, one of the principal roads serving Fairborn and the areas surrounding Wright-Patterson. OH-844 crosses over OH-444 before connecting with the state route, while the highway itself continues a short distance beyond the interchange toward the Air Force base. This video ends at OH-444 in Fairborn, completing a compact drive through an area closely associated with aviation, higher education, and the eastern Dayton transportation network.

Ohio Route 844 is officially known as the McClernon Memorial Skyway, honoring Brigadier General Glen J. McClernon, a former commander at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base who also served as mayor of Fairborn. The highway was originally designated OH-444A before receiving the OH-844 designation during the 1990s. Despite its roughly 2.4-mile total length, the route provides a useful direct connection among I-675, Wright State University, Fairborn, and one of the Dayton region's largest and most significant employment centers.
