List Of Interstate And U.S. Highways In Utah
Three numbered highway systems are present in the U.S. state of Utah: the Interstate Highway System, the United States Numbered Highways system (more commonly known as "U.S. Routes") and the state route system. Both the Interstate and U.S. Highway system are nationwide systems with only a small portion of these routes entering Utah. The Utah Department of Transportation is responsible for maintaining all of the Interstate, U.S. Routes and state highways in the state. Originally, the State Road Commission of Utah, created on March 23, 1909 was responsible for maintenance, but these duties were rolled into the new Department of Transportation in 1975.
There are 3,039.643 miles (4,891.831 km). of Interstates and U.S. Routes in Utah, comprising 977.664 miles (1,573.398 km) of Interstate highways and 2,061.979 miles (3,318.434 km) of U.S. Routes. The longest Interstate is Interstate 15 at 400.592 miles (644.690 km) and the shortest being Interstate 215 at 28.946 miles (46.584 km). The longest U.S. Route is U.S. Route 89 at 502.577 miles (808.819 km) and the shortest being U.S. Route 89A at 2.94 miles (4.73 km).
Five former U.S. Routes exist in the state of Utah, as well as two former interstate highways, all which have been replaced by current interstate and U.S. Routes, with the most recent change being U.S. Route 666 changing to U.S. Route 491 in 2003. One unique former route would be Interstate 415, which was never signed as such, and was only used as a temporary designation for the eastern portion of what is now the Interstate 215 belt loop around Salt Lake City.

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, interstate and/or highways:
“Every morning I woke in dread, waiting for the day nurse to go on her rounds and announce from the list of names in her hand whether or not I was for shock treatment, the new and fashionable means of quieting people and of making them realize that orders are to be obeyed and floors are to be polished without anyone protesting and faces are to be made to be fixed into smiles and weeping is a crime.”
—Janet Frame (b. 1924)
“A man’s interest in a single bluebird is worth more than a complete but dry list of the fauna and flora of a town.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“At bottom, I mean profoundly at bottom, the FBI has nothing to do with Communism, it has nothing to do with catching criminals, it has nothing to do with the Mafia, the syndicate, it has nothing to do with trust-busting, it has nothing to do with interstate commerce, it has nothing to do with anything but serving as a church for the mediocre. A high church for the true mediocre.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“That is the land of lost content
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)
