Title: Antelope Island Causeway and Former UT 127

Put together a small blog on the history of the Antelope Island Causeway which initially part of UT 127.

I was under the impression the causeway itself (also known as the Davis County Causeway) was maintained by Davis County itself. I know a Utah state park pass won't get you completely into the park, because it doesn't cover a toll that goes to Davis County. According to the SR-127 resolutions (https://www.udot.utah.gov/main/uconowner.gf?n=200609181324231), the jurisdiction for the causeway was transferred to Davis County in 1991.

This, by the way, means that the Causeway is one of only two toll roads in Utah (not counting the I-15 HOT lanes). The other is the Adams Avenue Parkway south of Ogden.

I'll have to make an update, I didn't know that it was transferred to County maintenance.
