State Route 794 is now Clark County Road 794 – the road changes name: West Blee Road at US 68 and W. Sparrow Rd at SR 72.

Thank you for that addendum!
Local traffic is still allowed from Pfeiffer Orchard north, so if you need to get to one of the businesses on 68, you can still do so by going up Polecat to Jackson Road and cutting back to 68.
