Utah State Route 36


State Route 36 is a highway in northern Utah connecting US-6 in northern Juab County to I-80 in northern Tooele County.

Route description

From its southern terminus west of Eureka, SR-36 heads northwest until Vernon, where it turns north. It continues this general direction, eventually heading more to the northeast, until the northern terminus at Lake Point, where it intersects Interstate 80.
From the junction with SR-73 north to the terminus at I-80, SR-36 is included as part of the National Highway System.

History

The road from SR-4 at Mills Junction south to Clover, forming part of the Lincoln Highway, was added to the state highway system in 1910 and 1912. A 1925 law extended it south from Saint John Station to Tintic Junction, and in 1927 the state legislature assigned the SR-36 designation to the route from Mills Junction to Tooele Junction, as well as the spur to Clover until 1931, when it became SR-58. Coinciding with the eventual construction of I-80 through the area, SR-36 was extended north from its northern terminus at US-40 to its eventual interchange with I-80 at Lake Point in 1965. The south leg of the triangular intersection at Tintic Junction was designated State Route 67 by the legislature in 1975, only to be changed back to a spur of SR-36 in 1991 because of motorist confusion.
