Route description

View of SR-159, looking north from Garrison, Utah.

This short highway is mainly used as a cutoff for local Snake Valley residents between Garrison (and SR-21) and the main road in the valley, US-6/50. Motorists traveling from the south to the east, and vice versa, use the SR-159 cutoff. The road does "continue" north of US-6/50 as a dirt road, known commonly as the "Gandy Road." This road travels up Snake Valley toward Gandy, Callao, and eventually to Wendover.

History

The route number "159" was previously used for other roads in the state system, including what is now SR 111 (western Salt Lake Valley) from 1933[1] to 1945 and the Dividend, Utah road from 1945[2] to 1969.[3]

The current incarnation of SR-159 was designated in 1979 by the Utah State legislature, and has not been changed since.[3]
