Route description

SR-14 heading east out of Cedar City, June 2017

As the ascent up the Markagunt Plateau features steep grades and sharp curves the Utah Department of Transportation has prohibited all vehicles exceeding 12 feet (3.7 m) wide or 65 feet (19.8 m) long. All vehicles exceeding 8.5 feet (2.6 m) wide are required to have pilot escorts.[2]

SR-14 begins at an intersection with

US-89
at Long Valley Junction.

History

The road from

SR-148.[5]

On October 8, 2011, a mountainside adjacent to the highway near mile marker 8 gave way and a landslide removed about 1300 feet of roadway, closing the highway for more than seven months. The road reopened to limited traffic on May 12 and was fully opened on August 4, 2012.[6] A similar incident took place in 1989, closing the highway for months until repairs were made.
