US 89A

U.S. Route 89 (US 89) in the U.S. state of

Metropolitan Statistical Area not on the Interstate.[2]

When US-89 was established in the state in 1926, the road initially extended north to US-91 in Spanish Fork. Following the extension of the former to the Canada–US border, Interstate 15 was constructed roughly paralleling US-89 to the west and replacing US-91 south of Brigham City. During this process, US-89 was rerouted in southern Utah and northern Arizona, with the old roadway becoming US-89A.

Route description

Arizona border to I-70

U.S. Route 89 at the border of Arizona and Utah

US-89 enters Utah from the south inside the

Long Valley Junction (elevation 7450 feet/2300 m).[5]

North from Long Valley Junction, US-89 descends through the valley of the

I-70 to the Wasatch Front

Although US-89 follows the I-70

SR-28 and finally turns away from the Sevier River.[5]

At Gunnison, US-89 turns east before curving northeast into the

Southern Wasatch Front

State Street approaching the Utah State Capitol; northbound US-89 turned left here until 2007

From Springville north to

SR-201
(2100 South).

Until 2007, US-89 followed State Street to

Capitol Hill
.

Northern Wasatch Front

Route 89 passes by the Logan Tabernacle in downtown Logan, Cache County
US-89 through Logan Canyon, a National Scenic Byway

US-89 leaves Salt Lake City at exit 312 of

Brigham City, where it finally turns east away from the I-15 corridor.[5]

Wasatch Front to Idaho border

US-89 meets the current alignment of

Bear Lake (elevation 5900 ft/1798 m). The final segment of US-89 to the Idaho state line follows the lake's west shore, its location constrained by the Bear River Range just to the west.[5]

History

Manti Utah Temple along US-89 at the north edge of Manti.

When US-89 was created in 1926, it only went as far north as

Interstate 15 was constructed, replacing US-91 for through traffic south of Brigham City, and leading to that route's truncation there in 1974.[15] On the other hand, US-89 follows independent corridors south of Spanish Fork and north of Logan. It has not been truncated and mostly follows US-91's final alignment, except between Farmington and Ogden (where old US-91 is now I-15, SR-126, and SR-26
).

US-89 between Junction and Marysville

The southern part of US-89, running northerly from

Pigeon Hollow Junction north to Thistle was also added in 1912, following the rail line through a canyon and providing another route to Salt Lake City.[21]

In 1919, the state legislature redefined the state road system to include only a short list given in the law and any

US-189 from about 1930 until 1938.[8][9][12][29]

overlapped with US-91 between Brigham City and Logan in the mid-1950s.[35][36]

In 1957, one year after construction began on the

Major numbering changes were made in Utah's state highway system in the 1960s and 1970s, beginning with the construction of

1977 renumbering, where state route numbers concurrent with other types were dropped entirely. However, most of these changes were not visible to the public, as signs continued to display US-89 and other U.S. Routes and Interstates. The following changes were made to state routes related to US-89:[41]
