List of state highways serving Utah state parks and institutions
Wikimedia list article
In the U.S. state of Utah, some state highways have been specifically designated to serve state parks and state institutions. The range of numbers from State Route 281 to State Route 320 has been used for this purpose since 1969.
State Route 281
State Route 281 served Dixie College (now Utah Tech University) in St. George until 1991. It was created in 1935 as State Route 191, connecting SR-1 (US-91, now SR-34) to the college. The route was renumbered to State Route 181A in 1945, State Route 67 in 1962, and finally SR-281 in 1969. The route was removed from the state highway system in 1991 as part of the trade that created SR-8; the final routing was about 2.05 miles (3.30 km) long and extended south from SR-34 via 700 East to and around the college.
State Route 282
State Route 282 consists of three segments named Campus Center Drive, South Campus Drive, Mario Capecchi Drive, and North Campus Drive, totaling 2.942 miles (4.735 km). The route connects the University of Utah in Salt Lake City with several points on its border: SR-186 (500 South) at Guardsman Way, University Street at 400 South, SR-186 (Foothill Boulevard) west of Wakara Way, and 100 South east of Wolcott Street. The university roads were added to the state highway system in 1935 as part of SR-186, and were split off as State Route 181A in 1962 and renumbered SR-282 in 1969.
