A number of highway junctions in the U.S. state of Utah have names that appear on maps and in state laws designating the highways. Sometimes the junction name also refers to the surrounding community or area as well as just the highway junction itself. In a few instances, the highway junction shares the name with a nearby railroad junction. Such sharing of names does not include the many, many named railroad junctions within the state, some of whose name also refers to the surrounding community or area, but has no relation to any highway junction (for example, Cache Junction). La Sal Junction is a very small town with no running businesses.[1][2]
Smithsonian Butte Road runs north from the junction to Rockville Junction and Rockville and was formerly designated as SR-16 (1920s-1935). Big Plain Junction also refers to the community surrounding the new junction about 2 miles (3.2 km) north on Smithsonian Butte Road that was created by the realignment of SR-58.[19][20]
West 400 South heads east from the junction towards the former town of Columbia[30] (which now comprises the southeast part of East Carbon).[31] Columbia Junction also refers to a nearby railroad junction, which is a few miles northwest of the road junction, but still within the city limits of East Carbon.[32][33]
The name Crescent Junction refers to the small community in the area, as well as the highway interchange, both of which are south of the railroad right of way. Brendel Junction, which is northeast of Crescent Junction, refers primarily to the railroad junction in the area (and the area north of the railroad junction).[36] Because of their proximity, the names of the two junctions are often confused and mistakenly used interchangeably.
About 14 miles (23 km) south-southwest of Emery and about 29 miles (47 km) north-northeast of Fremont
Although the junction is located immediately south of I-70 / US 50, the nearest I-70 interchanges are Exit 91, which is about 2 miles (3.2 km) east-northeast, and Exit 86, which is about 2.5 miles (4.0 km) west
The neighborhood in Hurricane that is named after the junction extends east from the junction for about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) and is labeled as Harrisburg Junction on most maps
Former site of Hailstone Junction (now covered by the Jordanelle Reservoir) is near the current site of the community of Hailstone, about 7 miles (11 km) north of Heber City and about 7 miles (11 km) west of Francis
Southwest Ogden (where I-15 now crosses) northeast of Hooper
Midland Drive is also referred to as Hooper Road; Pennsylvania Avenue runs both south and northeast from the junction (the northeastern course is also SR-53)
The current Keetley Junction replaced the former, which was about 5 miles (8.0 km) south-southeast of the new site. The former Keetley Junction was the junction between the former alignment of US 40 and the former SR-223. The site of the former Keetley Junction is now covered by the Jordanelle Reservoir. Keetley Junction can also refer to a former railroad junction just east of the present highway junction of the same name.
About 4 miles (6.4 km) northeast of Lake Point and about 7 miles (11 km) west of Magna, immediately southwest of the Salt Lake County line on the southeast shore of the Great Salt Lake
South 5600 West is also SR-141 southbound from West 10400 South and SR-147 northbound from West 10400 South. As of October 2013, Google Maps incorrectly shows incorrectly shows the former routing (pre-2001) of SR-147 heading east (as West 10400 South) to Payson, rather than north from McBeth Corner.[96]
The Highway 189 Resolutions references "Midway Jct." but does not provide any specific details as to the road that forms the junction with US-40. The limited details are that it is within Wasatch County in or north of Heber City but south of "South Mayflower".
While defined as the junction of these three highways, due to minor realignment of the highways over the years, the current intersection of US-89 and US-6 and the current intersection of US-6 and SR-198 are over 0.5 miles (0.80 km) apart. US-89 and SR-198 do not ever actually meet.
SR-16 between SR-56 in New Castle and SR-18 near Enterprise existed from 1935 until retirement in 1955. It still exists as a paved shortcut between the towns.
About 4 miles (6.4 km) west of the Wyoming border, about 8 miles (13 km) north-northeast of Randolph, and about 10 miles (16 km) east-southeast of Laketown
^ abDue to limited reference material and extensive highway realignments, specific details regarding the exact location of the Kamas Junction and the former Keetley Junction is very limited.
^ abOver the years there has been substantial name re-designation and minor roadway realignment in the area of the Mammoth and Tintic junctions. Originally the roadways in the area formed a rough triangle (with sides of 1–2 miles (1.6–3.2 km). The eastern side (with a slight curve to the west) was US-6/US-50, the southwestern (straight) side was SR-36, and the northwestern (straight) side was a local road. The northern junction (US-6/US-50 and the local road, plus another local road leading south-southeast to Mammoth) was designated as Mammoth Junction and the western junction (SR-36 and the local road) was designated as Tintic Junction, with the southern junction (US-6/US-50 and SR-36) being unnamed. The US-50 designation was later applied to a separate highway further south in the state and the local road on the northwestern side was designated as SR-36, with the southwestern side being temporarily re-designated as SR-67. Later the southwestern side was re-designated once again as SR-36 (with two sections leading to Tintic Junction). Finally, the SR-36 designation was removed from the northwestern side (leaving it as a local road once again) and the Tintic Junction was applied to the formerly unnamed junction (US-6 and SR-36). The final result appears much the same as the original, except that Tintic Junction moved about a mile southeast.[92][93]
