We use quite a few resources to construct this page, and we try to keep it up to date (but that is not always the case!). We use mainly officialy sites, but many of the AARoads contributors also have sites of their own that have proven helpful in providing reference material for this site. To complete the AARoads Utah Roads and Highways pages, we have utilized a variety of resources including:
U.S. Census for population figures (mostly from the 2000 and 2010 data collection), geographical size, and demographic information
UDOT Highway Resolutions for all legislative history of various state highways, including applications to AASHTO to add, delete, and modify Interstate and U.S. highways in Utah
Wikipedia - if we can't find specific information anywhere else, the on-line encyclopedia may have additional information
Other resources include personal observations from hundreds of trips around the Beehive State and newspaper articles that are individually cited mostly for ongoing construction projects and completion dates
We try to cite any other sources used on individual pages where we can. If you should find any errors on the page (and we know they're out there), please don't hesitate to contact us.
