U.S. ROUTE 189
(Redirected from U.S. Highway 189)
'U.S. Route 189' is a spur of U.S. Route 89. It currently runs for 322 miles (518 km) from Jackson, Wyoming at U.S. Highway 89 to Provo, Utah at Interstate 15.
U.S. 189 begins in Provo where it is known as 'University Avenue'. The highway then winds up Provo Canyon passing by Deer Creek Reservoir and paralleling the route of the Heber Creeper. The portion in Provo Canyon is designated a scenic highway by the state legislature. The highway exits Provo Canyon near Heber City, Utah
At Heber City US-189 meets U.S. Route 40. The Utah department of transportation has placed an end sign at the junction of US-40 in Heber City. However this is in error as the highway continues into Wyoming. The implied (but unsigned) connection to the Wyoming state line is via. US 40 to I 80.
Prior to the construction of the Jordanelle Reservoir the route was signed past the junction of US-40. The highway continued north along the former route of US-40 that is now under water. It separated from US-40 on the route now signed Utah State Route 32. SR-32 and former US-189 joined with I-80 in Wanship.
Prior to the completion of Interstate 80 US-189 also continued north of Wanship and formed the main streets of the communities bypassed by I-80 in Eastern Utah including Hoytsville and Coalville.
The Utah section of US-189, with the exception of the disputed concurrency with U.S. 40 and Interstate 80, is defined at Utah Code Annotated § 72-14-124(4).[1],[2]
U.S. 189 enters Wyoming co-routed with I-80. The routes separate east of Evanston where US-189 proceeds north towards Jackson Hole. Just south of Jackon Hole US-189 rejoins the route of its parent U.S. Route 89
