History
The old Trappers Loop Road from the former Utah State Route 5 in Mountain Green to State Route 39 in Huntsville was designated State Route 85 in 1935, and decommissioned in 1945. SR-167 was created in 1985 along the same road, from I-84 near Mountain Green to SR-39 south of Huntsville. At the same time, the Utah State Legislature allocated funding for UDOT to reconstruct the route to state highway standards. Based on the preliminary studies prior to construction, it was decided that the new route alignment would be located one-half to one mile (1.6 km) west of the old road. In 1987, the route was realigned to this location, where the new road was under construction. The old road would continue to be operated and maintained by UDOT until 1989, when the new road had been completed and UDOT relinquished the road back to Morgan and Weber counties. In 1990, the route was extended from its southern terminus, westward to the eastbound Mountain Green Interchange off-ramp on I-84.
