State Route 231 (SR-231) is the shortest state highway in the U.S. state of Utah. It serves as a connection between U.S. Route 89 (US-89) and SR-31 in Fairview.

Route description

SR-231 begins at the intersection of State Street (US-89) and Milburn Road, proceeding north on the latter. After slightly less than a city block, the route comes to its northern terminus at Canyon Road (SR-31). [2] The road continues to the north towards Milburn, but it is not state-maintained beyond the SR-31 junction. The entire length of SR-231 is 0.085 miles (450 ft; 137 m). [1]

History

The road from Fairview north to Milburn was added to the state route system in 1912 as part of SR-32, [3] and in 1926 it became part of the original alignment of US-89. [4] US-89 was moved to bypass Milburn in 1937, and the old route between Fairview and Milburn was transferred to SR-91. The routes remained in this configuration until 1969, when SR-91 was removed from the state highway system in a mass deletion of minor state highways and transferred to local jurisdiction.

However, the short segment of former SR-91 between US-89 and SR-31 in Fairview continued to be used as the primary connection from northbound US-89 to eastbound SR-31, and vice versa. As a result, in the meeting of the Utah Transportation Commission on October 12, 2018, this one-block segment was re-added to the state highway system as SR-231. [5]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Fairview, Sanpete County.

U.S. Route 91 or U.S. Highway 91 (US-91) is a 172.663-mile-long (277.874 km) north–south United States highway running from Brigham City, Utah, to Idaho Falls, Idaho, in the U.S. states of Idaho and Utah. Despite the "1" as the last digit in the number, US-91 is no longer a cross-country artery, as it has mostly been replaced by Interstate 15. The highway currently serves to connect the communities of the Cache Valley to I-15 and beyond. Prior to the mid-1970s, US 91 was an international commerce route from Long Beach, California, to the Canada–US border north of Sweetgrass, Montana. US 91 was routed on the main streets of most of the communities it served, including Las Vegas Boulevard in Las Vegas and State Street in Salt Lake City. From Los Angeles to Salt Lake, the route was built along the corridor of the Arrowhead Trail. A portion of the highway's former route in California is currently State Route 91.

Utah State Route 68 State highway in Utah, Salt Lake, and Davis counties in Utah, United States

State Route 68 (SR-68) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Utah. It is a major thoroughfare throughout the Wasatch Front as it runs north–south for 70.8 miles (113.9 km), linking US-6 near Elberta to US-89 in Woods Cross. The route intersects several major freeways and highways in the Salt Lake City metropolitan area including I-215, I-80, and I-15. The route is more commonly referred to as Redwood Road, after the street it is routed along throughout Salt Lake County. The highway is also routed for a short distance along 500 South and 200 West in Bountiful and Camp Williams Road in Utah County. The route is a surface street for its entire length.

State Route 186 (SR-186) is a state highway entirely within Salt Lake City, capital of the U.S. state of Utah. It forms a quarter-beltway connecting US-89 and I-15 leading north from Salt Lake City to I-80 leading east; as such, it effectively forms the missing (non-freeway) quarter of the I-215 belt route around the city, though it does not directly connect to I-215 at the north end. Despite this beltway role, the route passes through downtown Salt Lake City because downtown is built right up to the northern mountains surrounding City Creek Canyon. The portion of the route connecting downtown to I-80 is a high-capacity street heavily used by commuters, especially those travelling to the University of Utah or between downtown and eastern neighborhoods, but the portion on Capitol Hill north of downtown is much narrower and has sharp turns around the Capitol grounds. The roadway runs 9.34 miles (15.03 km) along Victory Road, Columbus Street, 300 North, State Street, 400 South, 500 South, and Foothill Drive.

State Route 90 (SR-90) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Utah that sits completely within Brigham City in Box Elder County. The route travels from its western terminus at SR-13 to its eastern terminus at the junction of US-89/US-91.

State Route 120 (SR-120) is a state highway in the US state of Utah forming a business loop around I-70 serving the town of Richfield. The route forms the main street for Richfield and spans 3.89 miles (6.26 km). The highway was established 1969, coinciding with the construction of I-70 through Sevier County.

The route was created in 1966 by combining several state highways into a single designation.
