[edit] Route description
From its western terminus outside any city limits, the route heads south and veers to the southwest before turning southeasterly. Once reaching Grantsville, the highway heads east and turns to the northeast after leaving the city. It continues this direction until terminating north of Stansbury Park.
[edit] History
[edit] Previous route
When it was first formed in 1933, SR-138 took a similar path to the present-day route, going from Grantsville north to Burmester. This designation was deleted in 1953.[2]
[edit] Current route
The current route of SR-138 was formed in 1965, running from SR-2 (now Interstate 80) south to Stansbury, then east through Grantsville to SR-36. This designation hasn't been changed since.[2]
