was moved onto a new freeway alignment in 2003. Consequently, the majority of the former two-lane routing was removed from the state highway system. However, the re-routing resulted in there being no direct connection between US 35 and I-71 at Octa. To alleviate this, a new connector was built between the freeway just northwest of I-71 and the former routing of US 35. From this point to the easternmost point of the SR 729 overlap of the previous routing of US 35, the old routing of US 35 was kept in the state highway system. The connector, along with this portion of former US 35, was assigned the SR 435 designation. This allowed for not only a connection between I-71 and the new US 35 freeway, but also SR 729 and the freeway.

SR 435 was once a proposed limited-access north–south highway in Portage County and Stark County, as a result of a regional planning report. Connections in Portage would have been at SR 14, SR 59, SR 261,

and US 224. Connections in Stark would have been at SR 619, State Street NE, SR 173, US 62, SR 153, SR 172, US 30 and would have terminated at SR 183 in Sandy. Designed to relieve traffic from SR 43 and SR 44, its centerline was east of State Route 43. However, the plan was never implemented beyond the planning stages. Instead, the city of
