State highways deleted by the Utah State Legislature in 1969

A number of minor state highways in the U.S. state of Utah were deleted by the State Legislature in 1969.

State Route 50

State Route 50 was originally a branch of SR-122, but was split off as its own route in 1935, running from Wattis southeast to SR-122 east of Hiawatha.[1] This route was deleted in 1969, with the route number immediately reused for the road between Roy and Ogden (Riverdale Road), which was subsequently renumbered to SR-26 as part of the 1977 Utah state route renumbering in order to avoid confusion with US-50.[1]

State Route 53

State Route 53 connected SR-8 (now US-6/US-191) at Wellington with SR-6 (now US-40) west of Myton via Nine Mile Canyon Road. The road was taken over on January 10, 1916, and immediately reused to replace part of SR-37 in Ogden after its 1969 deletion.

State Route 55

State Route 55 connected Cedar Breaks Junction on SR-14 to the south boundary of Cedar Breaks National Monument, a distance of about 2.5 miles (4.0 km). This route was designated on June 17, 1927[2] as part of SR-14, and split in 1931. It was withdrawn as a state route in 1969 and re-designated as part of SR-143. Later, in 1985, this route was split off from SR-143 and designated as a distinct highway, SR-148, while SR-143 was extended to run along the rest of Panguitch Lake Road, north and east of Cedar Breaks until US-89 in Panguitch. SR-148 now follows the same route of former SR-55. The SR-55 route number was reused in 1975 as a business loop for US-6 in Price.

State Route 58

State Route 58 was transferred from State Route 1 (US-91) on September 27, 1965, consisting of the old road through Kanarraville, between the present exits 42 and 51 of I-15. It was deleted in 1969 and immediately reassigned to old SR-2 (US-40) through Wendover.

State Route 64

State Route 64 - River Road from the Arizona state line north to SR-1 (US-91) in St. George - was added to the state highway system on May 12, 1931. It initially ran through St. George via 700 South, 700 East, 300 South, and 200 East, but was moved to use 700 East all the way to SR-1 (100 North) on January 25, 1963. After its deletion in 1969, the number was not reassigned until 1975, when it was used on what had been a spur of SR-26 through Holden.[3]

State Route 67

State Route 67 served Dixie College in St. George connecting US-91 (SR-91, now SR-34) to the college. It was created in 1935 as SR-191, renumbered as SR-181A in 1945, and as SR-67 in 1962. As part of the renumbering of highways serving state institutions, it was renumbered as SR-281 in 1969. The 67 route number was reused in 2008 for the newly built Legacy Parkway.

State Route 76

The road from Parowan northeast through Paragonah and southwest through Summit was added to the state highway system in 1910,[4] and in the 1920s it became part of SR-1 and US-91.[5] In 1968, with the construction of I-15 in the area imminent, SR-1 was moved to the proposed bypass, and the old route of SR-1 became State Route 38 (I-15 near Summit to Center Street in Parowan), SR-143 (Center Street to near 500 North in Parowan, and then continuing to I-15), and State Route 76 (near 500 North in Parowan to I-15 near Paragonah). However, the state legislature did not concur with the latter, and the old road through Paragonah was maintained only until I-15 was completed.[6] Construction of I-15 was finished by 1975, and included a second Parowan interchange that had not been in the 1968 plans. SR-143 was rerouted to turn south on SR-38 (old SR-1) in Parowan and west on 200 South to the new interchange, and the remainder of SR-38 was removed from the state highway system. (The 1968 extension of SR-143 was redesignated SR-274.)[7] The road from Parowan through Paragonah to I-15 (former State Route 76) was restored to the state highway system in 1978 as SR-271.[8]

The route number was reused in 1977 for a connector between SR-72 and I-70 at Fremont Junction in Sevier County.

State Route 78

State Route 78 ran from SR-8 in Orem east to SR-7 at Edgemont along 800 South.[9] It was added as a state highway on May 14, 1935, and extended west to SR-114 at Vineyard until 1953. The number was not reused until the 1977 renumbering, for former SR-163.

State Route 86

State Route 86 ran from SR-6 in Bridgeland north via Upalco and Altamont to Altonah. It was added as a state highway on May 14, 1935. In 1964, the portion from Upalco to Altamont was transferred to SR-87, and the portion from Altamont to Altonah was transferred to former SR-221, leaving SR-86 with only about 10 miles of road. This short remainder was deleted in 1969, and the number was reused in 1975 to designate a highway that currently runs from Henefer to I-84.

State Route 91

State Route 91 was created in 1935, and ran from Fairview at SR-32 (now US-89) northerly 7.5 miles (12.1 km) to Milburn.[10] It was deleted in 1969 and the route number was reused as the legislative designation for US-91. The road is now known as the Fairview Milburn Highway.[11]

State Route 98

State Route 98 was established May 14, 1935 and ran from Beryl Junction (SR-56 at SR-18 between Newcastle and Modena) north to Beryl in Iron County.[12][13] The original highway was approximately 12 miles (19 km) long and is now known as the Beryl Highway.[13] It was deleted from the state highway system in 1969, and SR-98 was immediately reused for an arterial highway in Weber County. in 2000, this highway was consolidated with SR-97 and deleted.[12]

State Route 120

State Route 120 connected SR-18 at Enterprise west to the Nevada border.[14] Originally, this route was added in 1941 as a branch of SR-18 from Enterprise west to Nevada, where SR 75 continued as a shortcut to Panaca,[15] but was split off as SR-120 in 1945.[16] The route number was immediately reused to designate a new SR-120 which doubles as Interstate 70 Business (Richfield, Utah).

State Route 134

State Route 134 was established on May 9, 1939 and ran from SR-35 about six miles north of Duchesne northward to Mountain Home. On May 13, 1941, it was extended north to the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation. In 1964, the southern portion from SR-35 to about 3 miles south of Mountain Home (at the intersection with former SR-221) was transferred to SR-87. The remainder was deleted in 1969, and the number was reused in 1977 when former SR-40 was renumbered to make room for US-40 in the 1977 renumbering.

State Route 135

State Route 135 was established June 26, 1933 as the highway from Delta via Oak City to the boundary of Fishlake National Forest in Millard County.[17] In 1953, the portion between Delta and Oak City was removed from the route and transferred to SR-125. In 1969, the remainder of the route was deleted and the route numbered was reassigned to Sevier County as the road from SR-119 near Richfield northeasterly to SR-24 near Sigurd. This route was subsequently deleted in 1992 and reassigned as part of SR-118.

State Route 136

State Route 136 was established on June 26, 1933 as the road from Kanab west to Johnson Canyon, then north to Alton, then west to SR-11 (now known as US-89) at Alton Junction, essentially forming an eastern loop off then SR-11.[18] On May 14, 1957, the 8.1 miles (13.0 km) from Kanab to Johnson Canyon was split off as part of a new route, SR-259 (built to connect Kanab with then under construction Glen Canyon Dam and later became part of the mainline of US-89 and deleted in 1977).[19] SR-136 was deleted in 1969 and reused in 1985 for a short connector between US-50 and US-6 just west of the city of Delta.[18]

State Route 141

State Route 141 was established in 1933 as the road from Hatton east to what was then Route 1[20] (now SR-133), a distance of about 1.6 miles (2.6 km).[21] The route was deleted in 1969 and the route number was immediately reused for current-day SR-141.

State Route 144

State Route 144 was established on June 26, 1933 and ran from SR-1 (US-91, now I-15) near the Washington/Iron county line westward via New Harmony to the Dixie National Forest boundary.[22] The route underwent numerous minor changes until being withdrawn from the state highway system in 1969. The route number was reused in 1978, when the state legislature designated Utah State Route 144 as the road from SR-92 in American Fork Canyon north to Tibble Fork Reservoir.

State Route 148

State Route 148 originally connected Lynndyl and Leamington to SR-132. This original alignment was swapped with SR-132 in 1945 to create the current-day alignment of SR-132, with SR-148 now connecting that highway to SR-26 (US-50, now US-6) near Jericho. This route was deleted in 1969. The route number was reused in 1985 when SR-143 was realigned, with the modern-day SR-148 following the route of former SR-55.

State Route 158

State Route 158 was established in 1933 as the road connecting Croydon with what is now Interstate 84 at Devil's Slide.[23] The route remained unchanged until 1969, when it was deleted from the state highway system. The route number was not reused until 1990, when the current route was established, running from Eden Junction to the parking lot at Powder Mountain Ski Resort.[23]

State Route 159

State Route 159, now known as "Dividend Road", was originally part of SR-26, where it went through the town of Dividend (now a ghost town) just east of Eureka. Dividend was bypassed by a new route through Homansville Canyon in about 1931, and the old route (Dividend Road) initially became a branch of SR-26.[24] It was renumbered State Route 159 in 1945[25] and deleted from the state highway system in 1969.[26]

State Route 167

State Route 167 was originally split off as the Mapleton end of State Route 147 in 1935. It was consolidated back into State Route 147 in 1969. The route number went empty until 1985, when it was used to designate Trappers Loop Road as a state highway.

State Route 170

State Route 170 originally connected Richmond at SR-1 (now US-91) west via Trenton to Clarkston at SR-142 in Cache County. In 1969, the route was absorbed into SR-142 and the route was deleted from the state highway system.[27] The route number was briefly reused from 1992-1993 for a cutoff between US-50 and SR-24 near Aurora, but was renamed soon after to SR-260 to avoid confusion from having SR-170 and I-70 in such close proximity.[27]

State Route 181A

State Route 181A was created in 1962 as three road segments on the campus of the University of Utah. These roads were originally added to SR-186 in 1935. In 1969, these roads were renumbered as SR-282.

State Route 182

State Route 182 was created in 1935, running along 20th Street from SR-1 (US-89) east to the former campus of the Utah Schools for the Deaf and the Blind at Monroe Boulevard. In 1962 it was extended east to Harrison Boulevard. SR-183A was created in 1939 and numbered in 1945, running east on 7th Street from SR-1 to what was then the Utah State Tuberculosis Sanatorium on the east side of Harrison Boulevard. This route was deleted in 1963, but after the sanatorium was replaced with a new campus for the Schools for the Deaf and Blind, the route was readded in 1968 as part of SR-182. In 1969, SR-182 was split and renumbered, with the original route (minus the segment on 20th street) becoming SR-285 and the newer readdition as SR-291.

State Route 182A

State Route 182A was created in 1939 and numbered in 1945. It served the College of Eastern Utah, running from SR-55 (100 North) along 300 East, and then looping around the college for a total distance of about 1.33 miles (2.14 km). It was renumbered as SR-283 in 1969, which was deleted in 2001.

State Route 183

State Route 183 was created in 1935 to serve the Ogden-Weber Applied Technology College near the south end of SR-235 (Wasghinton Boulevard). This route was renumbered in 1969 as SR-286.

State Route 184A

State Route 184A was created in 1940 as a collection of roads on the campus of Weber State University. The route was renumbered as SR-284 in 1969.

State Route 185

State Route 185 was created in 1935 to serve the Utah State Developmental Center in American Fork. It was extended east to SR-146 in 1941. In 1969, the portion on school grounds was renumbered SR-296 while the rest was deleted.

State Route 187

State Route 187 was created in 1935 to serve the old Sugar House Prison. In 1941, when the prison was moved to the new Utah State Prison facility in Draper, the route followed it. Spanning just under 0.4 miles (0.64 km), a marker identifying the route as "U-187, Utah's Shortest Designated Highway" was installed by the state highway department on December 29, 1955.[28] This route was renumbered as SR-287 in 1969.

State Route 188

State Route 188 was created in 1935 to serve Utah State University. It was renumbered to SR-288 in 1969, and deleted in 2007.

State Route 189

State Route 189 was a three-quarters loop around Snow College in Ephraim, following 100 North, 400 East, and Center Street from US-89 (Main Street) back to US-89, for a distance of 1.165 miles (1.875 km). The route was created in 1935, changed from a spur to a loop in 1965, and renumbered as Utah State Route 290 in 1969.

State Route 190

State Route 190 was a 1.920-mile (3.090 km) rectangular route around Southern Utah University in Cedar City. It followed Center Street from the intersection of SR-130 (Main Street) and SR-14 west to 1150 West, south to 200 South, east to 300 West, and back north to Center Street. It was created in 1935, and renumbered to SR-289 in 1969. The 190 route number was reused in 1987 for what is now the Big Cottonwood Canyon Scenic Byway.

State Route 196

State Route 196 ran from Peoa at former SR-35 (now SR-32), southwest through Browns Canyon to former SR-6 (now US-40) in Summit County, a distance of roughly 7 miles (11 km). It was originally designated a state route in 1931 as State Route 125,[29] renumbered as State Route 124 in 1933,[30] and again renumbered as State Route 196 in 1935.[31] The route was deleted from the state highway system in 1969, and is now known simply as Browns Canyon Road. The route number was not reused until 1998, when SR-196 was added to the system to prevent the Skull Valley Band of Goshute Indians from using their reservation to store nuclear waste.

State Route 205

State Route 205 ran from SR-104 (Wilson Lane) to Wall Avenue in Ogden. It was designated in 1965 for a new road to be constructed as part of the 1968 fiscal year urban program. In 1969, the route was deleted, and the roadway was transferred to SR-104.[32]

State Route 219

State Route 219 was designated as running from the junction with the roads to Milton and Richville (possibly now the intersection of Young St and Morgan Valley Dr) east into Morgan to Morgan High School, thence north across Weber River to the post office on the Main Street of Morgan.[33] It was added as a state highway on May 13, 1941, and withdrawn in 1969. The route number was not reused until 1984 when 1.3 miles of Main Street in Enterprise was added to the state highway system in exchange for removing former Utah State Route 307 in Gunlock State Park.[33]

State Route 221

State Route 221 ran from former SR-134 south of Mountain Home easterly via Boneta to former SR-86 at Altamont. The original alignment was designated a state route on May 13, 1941. In 1964, SR-87 was significantly expanded, and the entirety of this original route was transferred to SR-87, with SR-221 being realigned to go from Altamont, north to Altonah. The route was deleted in 1969 and as of June 2009, has not been reused.

State Route 222

State Route 222 ran from US-189 (then numbered SR-7) near Deer Creek Reservoir southeast to the town of Wallsburg, covering a little over 3 miles (4.8 km). It was designated a state route on May 13, 1941 and withdrawn in 1969.[34] The route number was reused in 2004 to re-designate a portion of SR-244 as SR-222 in Midway.

State Route 236

State Route 236 was originally the southern branch of SR-122, running from Hiawatha to SR-10 north of Huntington,[35] but was split off as its own route in 1945.[36] The route was deleted in 1969 and as of April 2011, has not been reused.[37]
