[edit] Route Description

SR-19 begins at an interchange with I-70 west of Green River, then heads east through the center of town and turns south through the Utah Launch Complex of White Sands Missile Range. It ends at a frontage road just south of another intersection with I-70.[1]

[edit] History

SR-19 follows the former route of US-6 and US-50 through Green River. With the opening of I-70 south of Green River, US-6 and US-50 were rerouted along I-70 and SR-19 was commissioned along the business route.[2][3][4]
