Route description

SR-57 begins at the junction with SR-10 near the Hunter Power Plant, three miles (5 km) southwest of Castle Dale, and runs almost straight north for almost four miles (6 km) until it nears Orangeville. It then bypasses Orangeville heading northwest. At the junction of SR-10 it turns north again and then moves in a north-northwest direction until it reaches its terminus at the southern edge of the Wilberg Mine, about 10 miles (16 km) northwest of Orangeville (the Wilberg Mine is the location of the fire that took twenty seven lives in 1984).

History

The road from SR-29 at Orangeville Junction south through Orangeville (along Main Street) to SR-10 was added to the state highway system in 1927 as a spur of SR-29, [2] and in 1931 it was split off as SR-57. [3] In 1978, the Utah Transportation Commission adopted a realignment onto a bypass of Orangeville, with a new northern terminus on SR-29 at the county road to the Wilberg Mine. An interchange was built at the new SR-29 junction in 1978, [4] and said county road became an extension of SR-57 in 1982. [5]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Emery County. [6]
