Route Description
SR-152 begins at the four-way intersection of Van Winkle Expressway and 900 East just south of Big Cottonwood Creek (SR-71 turns west from 900 East onto Van Winkle Expressway, which defaults onto 700 East). Immediately to the east, there is an unsignalized three-way intersection (at which SR-152 traffic does not stop) with Murray-Holladay road (former SR-174), which heads straight east (SR-71 intersects the western portion of former SR-174 just west of SR-152's starting point). From there, SR-152 heads southeast as a four-lane divided highway with limited at-grade access through an undeveloped, low-lying, and wooded strip of land. For a short distance in this area, the road forms the border between Murray and Millcreek Township, but south of that, SR-152 is always the border between Murray and Holladay. Past an intersection at the terminus of former SR-181 (1300 East), the route dips south-southeast to intersect with 5600 South near Cottonwood High School and a small commercial area. The route once again veers to the southeast before crossing the Jordan and Salt Lake Canal in a low-density residential area (including horse properties). Upon reaching the intersection with Vine Street (former SR-173) and 6100 South (a very short street connecting to the northern section of Highland Drive), the Van Winkle Expressway enters a commercial area and soon turns into (the southern section of) Highland Drive; a short one-way segment of Highland Drive provides an alternate route between the (much wider) northern and southern segments of that street for northbound vehicles. South of the 6100 South intersection, SR-152 has six lanes and sidewalks and looses its wide unpaved median in favor of a center turn lane. The route terminates seven-tenths of a mile later at an interchange with I-215.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“It [Egypt] has more wonders in it than any other country in the world and provides more works that defy description than any other place.”
—Herodotus (c. 484–424 B.C.)
