U.S. 91

Home » Guides » Utah » U.S. 91

The remaining 45.27 miles of U.S. 91 in Utah originate at a diverging diamond interchange with I-15/84 at Brigham City. U.S. 91 overlaps with U.S. 89 from Brigham City northeast to Logan. U.S. 91 continues from there north to North Logan, Hyde Park, Smithfield, Richmond and into Idaho beyond Lewiston.

U.S. 91 combines with U.S. 89, 2.008 miles east of I-15/84 across the south side of Brigham City. U.S. 89/91 overlap east through Box Elder Canyon and north along the Wellsville Mountains to Wellsville Canyon. The two routes emerge in Cache Valley at Wellsville.

Originally beginning in Long Beach, California, U.S. 91 was truncated northward to Baker, California in 1965. The remainder of the route in California, all of it in Nevada, and within the Beehive State north to Brigham City was eliminated in 1974.

Within Utah U.S. 91 was replaced by Interstate 15 and a series of state routes, mostly in urban areas. Through southwest Utah, U.S. 91 entered the state from Arizona via Mohave County Route 91, following what is now Old Highway 91 to Castle Cliff and the Beaver Dam Mountains. The highway climbed onto Utah Hill Summit as it traversed the Beaver Dam Mountains. Old Highway 91 makes a gradual eastern arc, passing through Shivwits and paralleling the Santa Clara River southeast into the cities of Ivins and Santa Clara. Santa Clara Drive extends the former route east to Sunset Boulevard in St. George. The eastern 1.303 miles of Sunset Boulevard are state maintained and designated as Utah State Route 8.

U.S. 91 turned south onto Bluff Street (SR 18) to St. George Boulevard (SR 34) east through Downtown St. George. The US highway converged with I-15 just ahead of Red Cliffs Drive. Old U.S. 91 was directly replaced with I-15 northeast across Middleton Black Ridge to where Red Cliffs Drive diverges from the freeway east to Telegraph Street into Washington. All of Telegraph Street northeast to Utah 9 is old U.S. 91. Old Highway 91 resumes in name from there and continues north to eventually run along the east side of Interstate 15 to Leeds.
