State Route 259 is a short highway within Sigurd in Sevier County, Utah connecting Interstate 70/US-89 to SR-24.

Route description

From its southern terminus with SR-24, the highway heads northwest and veers more toward the north before meeting Interstate 70/US-89. Two-hundredths of a mile later, the route terminates at a sign indicating the beginning of Federal Route 2570. (Although the entire route in located within the city limits of the Town of Sigurd, the community located in the northern portion of the town was formerly known as Vermillion.)[2][3]

History

SR-259 was added to the state highway system in 1992 as a connection from the new I-70 to SR-24 (signed as US-89 until 1992).[4] Although the road that continues north from I-70 is the former US-89, SR-259 is not; the original alignment is North State Street, crossing the ca. 1950[5] bypass (now SR-118) into SR-24.

Major intersections

The entire route is in Sigurd, Sevier County.
