A large number of minor routes in Utah, United States, were deleted by the State Legislature in 1969. This was by far the largest mass-decommissioning of highway in the history of Utah.
The State Road Commission designated a state highway connecting Cedar City with Lund on August 2, 1912.[1] The purpose was to connect Cedar City with the nearest railroad station, that of the Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad (Union Pacific Railroad) at Lund.[2] A connecting road—now known as Gap Road—running west from the county seat at Parowan through Hieroglyphic Canyon (now Parowan Gap[3]) to the Cedar City–Lund road was added to the state highway system on December 21, 1915.[4] In 1919, the state legislature redefined the state highway system to include only a short list of roads and any federal aid projects. The road to Cedar City was kept since it was improved with federal aid,[5] and the road to Parowan was dropped, but restored in 1921.[6]
The state legislature designated the roads connecting Lund to SR-1 at both Cedar City and Parowan as State Route 19 in 1927,[8] and in 1931 the Parowan branch was split off, first as SR-128[9] and then in 1933 as State Route 127.[10] A second connection between SR-19 and SR-1, following Midvalley Road past Enoch, became State Route 199 in 1935[11] but was given back to the county in 1943.[12] SR-127 was removed from the state highway system in 1953.[13] This route was deleted in 1969,[1] with the route number immediately reused for the road for old US-6 through Green River.
State Route 50 was originally a branch of SR-122, but was split off as its own route in 1935, running from Wattis southeast to SR-122 east of Hiawatha (the number was not used before this because of US-50).[14] This route was deleted in 1969, with the route number immediately reused for the road between Roy and Ogden (Riverdale Road), which was subsequently renumbered to SR-26 as part of the 1977 Utah state route renumbering in order to avoid confusion with US-50.[14]
State Route 53
State Route 53 connected SR-8 (now US-6/US-191) at Wellington with SR-6 (now US-40) west of Myton via Ninemile Canyon Road. The road was designated on January 10, 1916 as a branch of SR-8, and was renumbered as SR-53 in 1931. In 1941, State Route 207, connecting Price to the Carbon County Regional Airport, was created. In 1945, SR-53 was rerouted to end in Price, replacing SR-207. In 1953, SR-53 was rerouted back to its old route which ended in Wellington. The highway was cancelled in 1969; the number was immediately reused to replace part of SR-37 in Ogden after its 1969 deletion.
State Route 54 was created as a renumbering of a branch of SR-12 to Tropic in 1931. That same year, a new State Route 120 was created, continuing the road from Tropic to Henrieville,[15] and in 1935 it became part of SR-54.[16] Another road was also added to the state highway system in 1914, connecting SR-22 at Widtsoe with Escalante,[1] and it was numbered State Route 23 in 1927.[17] An extension took SR-23 northeast to Boulder in 1941,[18] and in 1947 SR-54 absorbed SR-23, with the Widtsoe-Escalante road dropped in favor of Henrieville-Escalante.[19]State Route 117, running southeast from SR-24 near Teasdale to Grover, became a state highway in 1931,[20] and was extended south to Boulder in 1957, becoming part of SR-54 in 1966.[21] In 1969, the section to the north limit of Boulder (at the Dixie National Forest boundary) became part of SR-12, and the rest was dropped. The number was reused in 1971 for a road from I-15 to Mona. In 1985, SR-12 was extended back north from Boulder to SR-24, using a different route than old SR-117 north of Grover.
State Route 55 connected Cedar Breaks Junction on SR-14 to the south boundary of Cedar Breaks National Monument, a distance of about 2.5 miles (4.0km). This route was designated on June 17, 1927[22] as part of SR-14, and split in 1931. It was withdrawn as a state route in 1969 and re-designated as part of SR-143. Later, in 1985, this route was split off from SR-143 and designated as a distinct highway, SR-148 (previous SR-148 was also removed in 1969), while SR-143 was extended to run along the rest of Panguitch Lake Road, north and east of Cedar Breaks until US-89 in Panguitch. SR-148 now follows the same route of former SR-55. The SR-55 route number was reused in 1975 as a business loop for US-6 in Price.
State Route 63A ran from SR-63 (modern US-50) in Scipio to SR-1/I-15. This was created in 1953. but was deleted in 1969.
State Route 64
State Route 64 - River Road from the Arizona state line north to SR-1 (US-91) in St. George - was added to the state highway system on May 12, 1931. It initially ran through St. George via 700 South, 700 East, 300 South, and 200 East, but was moved to use 700 East all the way to SR-1 (100 North) on January 25, 1963. After its deletion in 1969, the number was not reassigned until 1975, when it was used on what had been a spur of SR-26 through Holden.[23]
State Route 67 served Dixie College in St. George connecting US-91 (SR-91, now SR-34) to the college. It was created in 1935 as SR-191, renumbered as SR-181A in 1945, and as SR-67 in 1962. As part of the renumbering of highways serving state institutions, it was renumbered as SR-281 in 1969. The 67 route number was reused in 1975 from US-6 to SR-36 in Tintic Junction. This was eliminated in 1991 and transferred to SR-36. Old SR-36 was removed from the state highway system. The 67 route number was reused in 2008 for the newly built Legacy Parkway.
The road from Parowan northeast through Paragonah and southwest through Summit was added to the state highway system in 1910,[24] and in the 1920s it became part of SR-1 and US-91.[25] In 1968, with the construction of I-15 in the area imminent, SR-1 was moved to the proposed bypass, and the old route of SR-1 became State Route 38 (I-15 near Summit to Center Street in Parowan), SR-143 (Center Street to near 500 North in Parowan, and then continuing to I-15), and State Route 76 (near 500 North in Parowan to I-15 near Paragonah). However, the state legislature did not concur with the latter, and the old road through Paragonah was maintained only until I-15 was completed.[26] Construction of I-15 was finished by 1975, and included a second Parowan interchange that had not been in the 1968 plans. SR-143 was rerouted to turn south on SR-38 (old SR-1) in Parowan and west on 200 South to the new interchange, and the remainder of SR-38 was removed from the state highway system. (The 1968 extension of SR-143 was redesignated SR-274.)[27] The road from Parowan through Paragonah to I-15 (former State Route 76) was restored to the state highway system in 1978 as SR-271.[28]
State Route 86 ran from SR-6 in Bridgeland north via Upalco and Altamont to Altonah. It was added as a state highway on May 14, 1935. In 1964, the portion from Upalco to Altamont was transferred to SR-87, and the portion from Altamont to Altonah was transferred to former SR-221, leaving SR-86 with only about 10 miles of road. This short remainder was deleted in 1969, and the number was reused in 1975 to designate a highway that currently runs from Henefer to I-84.
State Route 90
State Route 90 was the second state route in Utah to be numbered 90. Established in 1947, it ran from US-191 west on 25800 North to Portage, a distance of approximately 2.3 miles. This was created in exchange for deleting the first SR-90, which went from SR-1 near the north line of Iron County southeast to SR-20, and was moved north to end at SR-11 rather than SR-20 in 1943 (this is now Freemont Road and Dog Valley Road). The second SR-90 was deleted in 1969. The number was reused in 1975, when it was used to renumber the spur of SR-85 in Brigham City, itself a bypassed routing of US-91.
State Route 91
State Route 91 was established May 14, 1935, and ran from Fairview at SR-32 (now US-89) northerly 7.5 miles (12.1km) to Milburn.[30] It was deleted in 1969 and the route number was reused in 1977 as the legislative designation for US-91. The road is now known as the Fairview Milburn Highway.[31]
The original SR-92 had been established May 14, 1935, and ran from Elmo to SR-10 {north-northwest of Elmo), but was extended south to SR-155 in Cleveland in 1943. (That entire route ran along what is now known as Cleveland Road.) The original SR-92 was decommissioned in 1947, but the southern extension of the original route was used as the routing for the second version of SR-92 that was established in 1953.
State Route 94
State Route 94 was established May 14, 1935 and ran from Thompson north to Sego. The number was reused immediately on the continuation of this road from I-70 to Thompson.
State Route 98
State Route 98 was established May 14, 1935 and ran from Beryl Junction (SR-56 at SR-18 between Newcastle and Modena) north to Beryl in Iron County.[32][33] The original highway was approximately 12 miles (19km) long and is now known as the Beryl Highway.[33] It was deleted from the state highway system in 1969, and SR-98 was immediately reused for an arterial highway in Weber County. in 2000, this highway was consolidated with SR-97 and deleted.[32]
State Route 99
State Route 99 was designated in the 1930s as a spur from US-6 to Sugarville, a distance of approximately 11 miles. It began at 700 West and Main Street in Delta, heading west to 1000 West and turning north. It then curved west into 1500 North before turning north on 3000 West. The route passed through Sutherland before turning west on 7500 North, coming to its northern terminus at 4250 West in Sugarville. The route was decommissioned in 1969, and the number was immediately reused as the I-15business loop through Fillmore.
State Route 110
State Route 110 was designated in 1931 from SR-1 (later SR-106) in Kaysville to West Kaysville.[34] In 1941, it was extended east to SR-49 (US-89),[35] and in 1969 it was all eliminated except for the piece that became SR-106. The number was immediately reused on a route from SR-127 to SR-37.
State Route 120
State Route 120 connected SR-18 at Enterprise west to the Nevada border.[36] Originally, this route was added in 1941 as a branch of SR-18 from Enterprise west to Nevada, where SR 75 continued as a shortcut to Panaca,[37] but was split off as SR-120 in 1945. Note that when SR-120 was split off, the previous SR-120 from SR-56 west of Cedar City southwest to Old Irontown was deleted.[38] The route number was immediately reused to designate a new SR-120 which doubles as Interstate 70 Business (Richfield, Utah). This was partially restored as SR-219 (previous SR-219 was also removed in 1969).
State Route 126
A loop through Greenville was created as SR-127 in 1931[39] and renumbered State Route 126 in 1933, following a road from SR-21 south to Greenville and then heading west on that community's Main Street back to SR-21.[40] The east–west portion was removed in 1953,[41] and in 1969 the remainder was removed from the state highway system, and the number was not reused until the 1977 renumbering, for the original section of former SR-84.[42]
State Route 129
State Route 129 was established June 26, 1933, heading south from SR-21 in Milford along Adams Street (which would normally be Main Street in the local grid) to a point on the Milford Flat, then east on 4500 South back to SR-21.[43] It too ceased to be a state highway in 1969.,[44] and the number was not reused until 1983 for a route between I-15 in Riverside and SR-30 in Tremonton. This was deleted in 1989, and transferred to SR-30, as the old route became a northern extension of SR-69 (now SR-38 due to sign theft) and an eastern extension of SR-102. The number was reused in 2014 from US 89 along 700 N and N County Blvd to SR-92.
State Route 133
State Route 133 was established on June 26, 1933 as the highway from SR-2 in Coalville east via Pine View to the Wyoming state line. This was deleted in 1969, and the number was immediately reused along old US-91 through Kanosh.
State Route 134 was established on May 9, 1939 and ran from SR-35 about six miles north of Duchesne northward to Mountain Home. On May 13, 1941, it was extended north to the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation, with a spur to Altamont. The spur to Altamont was renumbered SR-221. In 1964, the southern portion from SR-35 to about 3 miles south of Mountain Home (at the intersection with former SR-221) was transferred to SR-87. The remainder was deleted in 1969, and the number was reused in 1977 when former SR-40 was renumbered to make room for US-40 in the 1977 renumbering.
State Route 135 was established on June 26, 1933 as the highway from Delta via Oak City to the boundary of Fishlake National Forest in Millard County.[45] In 1953, the portion between Delta and Oak City was removed from the route and transferred to SR-125. In 1969, the remainder of the route was deleted and the route numbered was reassigned to Sevier County as the road from SR-119 near Richfield northeasterly to SR-24 near Sigurd. This route was subsequently deleted in 1992 and reassigned as part of SR-118. The route numbered was reassigned again in 2016 from SR-129 southwest along Pleasant Grove Boulevard to 2800 West.
State Route 136
State Route 136 was established on June 26, 1933 as the road from Kanab west to Johnson Canyon, then north to Alton. It then extended west to SR-11 (now known as US-89) at Alton Junction in 1941 (replacing half of the SR-11 loop), essentially forming an eastern loop off then SR-11.[46] On May 14, 1957, the 8.1 miles (13.0km) from Kanab to Johnson Canyon was split off as part of a new route, SR-259 (built to connect Kanab with then under construction Glen Canyon Dam and later became part of the mainline of US-89 and deleted in 1977).[47] SR-136 was deleted in 1969 and reused in 1985 for a short connector between US-50 and US-6 just west of the city of Delta.[46]
State Route 140
State Route 140 was established on June 26, 1933 as the road from SR-27 (now US-6) near Hinckley south to Deseret and east via Oasis to SR-26 (now US-50) at Harding.[48] In 1969, SR-140 was deleted, but the section from US-6 to Deseret became part of SR-257. The number was not reused until 1984, when it was assigned to a road in Bluffdale.
State Route 141
State Route 141 was established on June 26, 1933 as the road from Hatton east to what was then Route 1[49] (now SR-133), a distance of about 1.6 miles (2.6km).[50] The route was deleted in 1969 and the route number was immediately reused for current-day SR-141.
State Route 145 was established on June 26, 1933 from SR-16 in Laketown via Meadowville and Round Valley to SR-16. This was deleted in 1969. The route number was reused in 1978, when the state legislature designated SR-145 as the road from SR-68 in Saratoga east to US-89 in American Fork.
State Route 148 originally connected Lynndyl and Leamington to SR-132. This original alignment was swapped with SR-132 in 1945 to create the current-day alignment of SR-132, with SR-148 now connecting that highway to SR-26 (US-50, now US-6) near Jericho. This route was deleted in 1969. The route number was reused in 1985 when SR-143 was realigned, with the modern-day SR-148 following the route of former SR-55.
State Route 154
State Route 154 was created in 1933 from SR-41 to SR-69 via Garland Road. In 1969, the section from FAS-521 east to SR-69 (now SR-38) was redesignated as an extension of SR-84, while the remainder of the route was deleted; the route number was not reused until 1988 for the Bangerfer Highway.
State Route 159, now known as "Dividend Road", was originally part of SR-26, where it went through the town of Dividend (now a ghost town) just east of Eureka. Dividend was bypassed by a new route through Homansville Canyon in about 1931, and the old route (Dividend Road) initially became a branch of SR-26.[53] It was renumbered State Route 159 in 1945. The former SR-159 from SR-4 south and east to SR-111 at Riverton was transferred to an extension of SR-111.[54] and deleted from the state highway system in 1969.[55]
State Route 165
State Route 165 was established in 1935 from the Wyoming state line south 5 miles in Daggett County. This route was established when the original route of SR-165 from SR-44 to Flaming Gorge, which was established in 1933, was cancelled in exchange for designating this road. This was deleted in 1969, and the route number was immediately reused as the road from US-91 in Logan to Paradise.
State Route 166
State Route 166 was established in 1933 from SR-43 west of Antelope Canal south to the forest boundary. This was deleted in 1969, and the route number was immediately reused as the road from SR-39 at Huntsville north and east around Pineview Reservoir to SR-162 in Eden. This was deleted in 1990, along with SR-162 and SR-169, in exchange for creating the new SR-158 to the parking lot at Powder Mountain.
State Route 167 was originally split off as the Mapleton end of State Route 147 in 1935. It was consolidated back into State Route 147 in 1969, with the section from State Route 147 to Mapleton cancelled (that section is now Main Street). The route number went empty until 1985, when it was used to designate Trappers Loop Road as a state highway.
State Route 172, a road from SR-65 to Pinecrest, was created in 1935[57] and existed until 1969.[58] The route number went empty until 1985, when it was used to designate 5600 West south of I-80 in Salt Lake City as a state highway.
State Route 175
Utah State Route 175 was created in 1933 from SR-106 (now US-89) in Ogden via 36th Street, Grant Avenue and 21st Street back to SR-106. It was deleted in 1969 and was not reused as a route number until 2008, for 11400 South in Salt Lake County.
Utah State Route 176 was a state highway created in 1933 entirely within the cities of Salt Lake City and South Salt Lake in Salt Lake County, Utah, United States. It mainly functioned as an alternate route for US-89, US-91, and I-15 traffic that provided access to industrial areas of the two cities and avoided urban cross-traffic in Downtown Salt Lake City. The original route followed 900 South west from State Street (Salt Lake County) (concurrent US-89 and US-91) to 300 West and then traveled north on 300 West to meet US-89 and US-91 again at South Temple (or, later, at North Temple). The route was subsequently changed to follow 300 West only: it followed 300 West all the way from 3300 South (SR-171) to North Temple (traffic from either I-15 or State Street could reach the southern end along short stretches of SR-171). The route number was not reused until 2017, for the proposed Vineyard Connector Road.
State Route 178
Utah State Route 178 was created in 1935 from SR-36 in Tooele east to the International Smelter. This was deleted in 1969, and the route number was not reused until 2000 along 800 south in Payson.
State Route 179
State Route 179 was a state highway that connected SR-36 to Bauer. The route began at a point south of Tooele and north of Stockton, running south and southwest on Bauer Road.[59] The route was deleted in 1969. The number was not reused until 2017, when it was assigned to the Tooele Midvalley Highway.
State Route 181A was created in 1962 as three road segments on the campus of the University of Utah. These roads were originally added to SR-186 in 1935. In 1969, these roads were renumbered as SR-282.
State Route 182 was created in 1935, running along 20th Street from SR-1 (US-89) east to the former campus of the Utah Schools for the Deaf and the Blind at Monroe Boulevard. In 1962 it was extended east to Harrison Boulevard. SR-183A was created in 1939 and numbered in 1945, running east on 7th Street from SR-1 to what was then the Utah State Tuberculosis Sanatorium on the east side of Harrison Boulevard. This route was deleted in 1963, but after the sanatorium was replaced with a new campus for the Schools for the Deaf and Blind, the route was readded in 1968 as part of SR-182. In 1969, SR-182 was split and renumbered, with the original route (minus the segment on 20th street) becoming SR-285 and the newer readdition as SR-291. The route number has not been reused yet.
State Route 182A was created in 1939 and numbered in 1945. It served the College of Eastern Utah, running from SR-55 (100 North) along 300 East, and then looping around the college for a total distance of about 1.33 miles (2.14km). It was renumbered as SR-283 in 1969, which was deleted in 2001.
State Route 183 was created in 1935 to serve the Ogden-Weber Applied Technology College near the south end of SR-235 (Washington Boulevard). This route was renumbered in 1969 as SR-286. The route number has not been reused yet.
State Route 185 was created in 1935 to serve the Utah State Developmental Center in American Fork. It was extended east to SR-146 (now Canyon Road) in 1941. In 1969, the portion on school grounds was renumbered SR-296 while the rest was deleted.
State Route 187 was created in 1935 to serve the old Sugar House Prison. In 1941, when the prison was moved to the new Utah State Prison facility in Draper, the route followed it. Spanning just under 0.4 miles (0.64km), a marker identifying the route as "U-187, Utah's Shortest Designated Highway" was installed by the state highway department on December 29, 1955.[60] This route was renumbered as SR-287 in 1969.
State Route 189 was a three-quarters loop around Snow College in Ephraim, following 100 North, 400 East, and Center Street from US-89 (Main Street) back to US-89, for a distance of 1.165 miles (1.875km). The route was created in 1935, changed from a spur to a loop in 1965, and renumbered as Utah State Route 290 in 1969.
State Route 190 was a 1.920-mile (3.090km) rectangular route around Southern Utah University in Cedar City. It followed Center Street from the intersection of SR-130 (Main Street) and SR-14 west to 1150 West, south to 200 South, east to 300 West, and back north to Center Street. It was created in 1935, and renumbered to SR-289 in 1969. The 190 route number was reused in 1987 for what is now the Big Cottonwood Canyon Scenic Byway.
State Route 194
State Route 194 was established in 1947 from US-89 in Richfield westward via 300 S and southward via 400 W to US-89, as the old State Route 194 (established in 1935) went from North Salt Lake City on SR-1 northeasterly via Orchard Drive to Val Verda, thence northerly via 400 East through Centerville to Chase Lane, thence west to SR-1 and was deleted that year. This route was removed from the state highway system in 1969. The route number has not been reused yet.
This route number will be repurposed in 2019 for the east–west segment of the Mountain View Corridor freeway project in Utah County. The north–south sections will retain State Route 85, which the east–west segment has/had been previously assigned.
State Route 196
State Route 196 ran from Peoa at former SR-35 (now SR-32), southwest through Browns Canyon to former SR-6 (now US-40) in Summit County, a distance of roughly 7 miles (11km). It was originally designated a state route in 1931 as State Route 125,[61] renumbered as State Route 124 in 1933,[62] and again renumbered as State Route 196 in 1935.[63] The route was deleted from the state highway system in 1969, and is now known simply as Browns Canyon Road. The route number was not reused until 1998, when the current SR-196 was added to the system.
State Route 198
A connection from the Deseret Chemical Depot north to SR-73 near its west end, constructed with federal aid in 1942, was designated as State Route 198 in 1945.[64] was numbered State Route 198.[65] It was deleted in 1969. The route number was not reused until 1995, when SR-198 was reused for old US 6 through Santaquin.
State Route 199
State Route 199 was designated in 1943 from SR-86 east to Bluebell. It extended east to SR-121 in 1948, but that extension was deleted in 1953, and it was instead rerouted south to SR-86 near Upalco. In 1964, the route it ended at became SR-87. This was deleted in 1969, and the route number was immediately reused for the route from SR-36 south of Stockton to Dugway.
State Route 205 ran from SR-104 (Wilson Lane) to Wall Avenue in Ogden. It was designated in 1965 for a new road to be constructed as part of the 1968 fiscal year urban program. In 1969, the route was deleted, and the roadway was transferred to SR-104. The route number has not been reused yet.[66] The old route of SR-104 east of SR-205 was removed from the state highway system, and is now Wilson Lane and Exchange Road.
State Route 206
State Route 206 was established in 1939 from Clearfield southward 4.5-mile (7.2km) to SR-109. In 1947, part of the road was closed off because the Naval Supply Depot was created, so that SR-206 went from SR-109 northward to the Naval Supply Depot entrance only. This route was removed from the state highway system in 1969, and the route number has not been reused yet.
State Route 209 was created in 1941, heading north from SR-88 near Leota to US-40 east of Fort Duchesne.[67] In 1969, SR-88 was realigned to follow SR-209, with the old alignment to Fort Duchesne becoming a county road. The route number was immediately reused from US-89 east along 9400 South in Salt Lake City.[1]
State Route 211 was designated on its current route in 1968. This route was removed from the state highway system in 1969, but was restored in 1971.
State Route 213

In 1945, the section from SR-38 southwest and west along the airport boundary to SR-38 was renumbered as SR-231 (which was decommissioned in 1953), leaving only the section from SR-103 to SR-1. It was decommissioned in 1969, and the route number has not been reused yet.

The present alignment of US-191, which stretches from Mexico to Canada, was created in 1981 through Utah. Previously the route had entered northern Utah, ending at US-91 in Brigham City, but with the completion of I-15 it was truncated to Yellowstone National Park and re-extended on a completely different alignment. In addition to a large portion of US-163, this extension absorbed several state routes: SR-33, most of SR-44, and SR-260.
