“Utah State Route 60”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

State Route 60 (SR-60) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Utah, serving local traffic in the Ogden area. It parallels I-84 from SR-26 in Riverdale to US-89 in South Weber, and was part of the first state highway into Weber Canyon.

Route description

The entire length of SR-60 is just south of the Weber River and north of the Davis-Weber Canal in the cities of Riverdale and South Weber. The highway begins at SR-26 (Riverdale Road) and heads south under I-84, turning southeast at the SR-168 intersection and slowly climbing towards the end at US-89. Cornia Drive - formerly SR-49A - continues straight at the east terminus, an interchange with US-89 near the mouth of the Weber Canyon. Traffic wanting to continue east through the canyon, leaving the Weber Valley to cross the Wasatch Range, heads north on US-89 to I-84.^[2]

History

The road from SR-1 (US-91, now SR-26) at Riverdale Junction east into Weber Canyon became a state highway in 1912^[3] and part of SR-5 and US-30S in the 1920s.^[4]^[5] It was also along the route of the transcontinental Lincoln Highway from September 1913^[6] until April 1915, when the auto trail was moved to the more direct Parley's Canyon.^[7] In 1927, the state legislature defined a new route for SR-5 that began farther north on SR-1 in Ogden; the old alignment between SR-1 and the canyon was initially a branch of SR-49 (now US-89),^[8] but in 1935 it was split off as State Route 60.^[9] At the west end, a short realignment was built with federal aid as a national defense project in the early 1940s to improve access to the Ogden Ordnance Depot. The new road bypassed what is now 1150 West, and continued south from SR-60 to the depot along what is now SR-168.^[10] The east end was realigned in about 2000 when US-89 was reconstructed.^[11]
