Route description

Located entirely in Grand County's Thompson Springs,[2] SR-94 begins at a diamond interchange with exit 187 of I-70 and heads north as a two–lane undivided highway. The road turns to the northeast after intersecting a local road, passing the Utah Department of Transportation maintenance facility east of the highway.[1] After the maintenance facility the route turns north again and passes a mobile home court and comes to an end at an intersection with Old Highway Cisco. Across Old Highway Cisco is a former railroad depot of the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad.[3]

For the year 2007, a daily average of 750 cars traveled along SR-94, representing only a slight growth from previous years (in 2006, the average was 745; in 2005, 685).[4] Fifty three percent of this traffic was composed of trucks.[5] The average traffic measurement is collected at the interchange with I-70.

History

State Route 94 was formed in 1969 as a connector from I-70 to Thompson Springs. When I-70 was constructed through the area, it bypassed the town, creating a need for a connector road. The northern terminus of the route is old US-6/US-50.[6]
