State Route 198 is a highway completely within Utah County in northern Utah that connects Santaquin to Spanish Fork via Payson and Salem. The route runs sixteen miles. The entire length of the route is an old routing of US-6 and US-50, a portion of the route was also signed US-91. These routes were re-aligned or decommissioned as the Interstate Highway System was being constructed through this part of Utah.

[edit] Route description
From its western terminus at Interstate 15 in Santaquin, the route heads north-northeast until reaching Payson, where it straightens out to the north. This portion of the route is 100 West in Payson. Soon after, the highway turns east on State Road. The highway veers northeast and eventually to the north-northeast until Spanish Fork, where it runs north again. The route turns east on Canyon Road, eventually turning to the southeast until reaching US-6, where it terminates.
[edit] History
[edit] Previous route
When it was first formed in 1942, SR-198 ran from SR-73 south to the Deseret Chemical Depot. In 1963 the official designation was reversed, running from the Deseret Chemical Depot to SR-73. This version of SR-198 was deleted altogether in 1969.[2]
[edit] Current route
The current route of SR-198 was formed in 1995. The designation that was given at that time is the designation that it has today.[2] Prior to that time this road formed a part of US-6, US-50,[3] and US-91.[4] US-91 was decommissioned through this part of Utah in 1974.[5] US-50 was moved to a new alignment in 1976,[6] and US-6 was moved to an alignment concurrent with I-15 when SR-198 was formed.
