At Ripley, US 52 leaves the concurrency, at which point US 62 and US 68 head north for 5.3 miles (8.5 km) as a generally rural two-lane highway.

In Washington Court House, US 62 meets up with State Route 3 (SR 3) and continues all the way into Columbus, passing through the towns of Mount Sterling, Orient, Harrisburg, and Grove City.

US 62 runs concurrently with Interstate 670 (I-670) near John Glenn Columbus International Airport until the eastern side of I-270 where US 62 heads toward Gahanna, New Albany, Johnstown, Utica, Millersburg, and Navarre.

[citation needed] Immediately after this bridge, US 62 passes through the historic Idora Park neighborhood, before continuing on a more northward track toward Downtown Youngstown.

[2] The designation is in honor of Young, a pioneering figure in US history, and at his death, the highest-ranking Black officer in the Regular Army.

The memorial historical corridor passes through Young's hometown of Ripley, then stretches northward to near Redoak in Brown County, where it leaves the US 62/US 68 concurrency and joins US 68 solely at the junction of those routes.

Exit ramps provide access from US 62T to Beeson St NE, and then the highway merges onto State Route 225 (SR 225) and ends.
