State Route 76
Utah State Route 76 travels just 2.431 miles as a frontage road linking Interstate 70 with the Ivie Creek Rest Area and SR 72 at Fremont Junction. The state route follows a portion of old Utah 10 through Fishlake National Forest.
Signs for Exit 86 along I-70 omit the state route and instead only reference the adjacent rest area along SR 76.
East
SR 76 begins at the diamond interchange (Exit 86) with I-70 near Pine Hollow. The state route overtakes old U.S. 50 east beyond the east side ramps with I-70.
Prior to 2006, this state named shield for I-70 was one of just two remaining in use throughout the state of Utah (the other was posted in Salina).

An end shield stands at the access road linking SR 76 (old SR 10) with the ramps for I-70 & U.S. 50. Interstate 70 replaced SR 10 west of Exit 86 to Salina. Old SR 10, now a National Forest Road, continues west, along the south side of I-70, to Emigrant Pass.

Turning north onto the Exit 86 access road from SR 76 west, motorists depart for I-70/U.S. 50 east to Green River and Denver, Colorado.

U.S. 50 appears at the westbound on-ramp to Salina and Cove Fort. The U.S. highway is signed sparingly on its overlap with Interstate 70 throughout the state of Utah.
