State Route 171 (SR-171) is a state highway in the Salt Lake City metropolitan area in northern Utah that runs from SR-111 in Magna in the west side of the city to Interstate 215 in the city of Millcreek in the eastern part valley. In its sixteen-mile span, the route is named 3500 South and 3300 South.
Route description
Continuous flow intersection at Bangerter Highway in West Valley City
on SR-171From SR-111 in Magna, the highway (known as 3500 South) runs due east with between one and four general-purpose lanes in each direction until its junction with Redwood Road (
(West Valley Intermodal Hub. Between about SR-154 and Market Street (near 2700 West and I-215), dedicated bus lanes for UTA's 3500 South MAX bus rapid transit
line run in the median.
East of Redwood Road and the curve where it becomes 3300 South, SR-171 continues due east with two to three lanes in each direction, passing through
Millcreek station. Just before reaching former SR-181, SR-171 becomes much steeper than at any point to the west (other than when it ducks under the Union Pacific-FrontRunner right-of-way), and from there it continues to climb the East Bench
foothills until its terminus at I-215 in Millcreek.
The entire route is included as part of the National Highway System.[2]
History
3300 South/3500 South was added to the state highway system west of
SR-2); in 1965, the eastern terminus was reverted to the interchange with I-215 at Wasatch Boulevard (as I-215 had replaced the purpose of Wasatch Boulevard).[9]
Major intersections
The entire route is in Salt Lake County.
