UTAH'S HIGHWAY SYSTEMS
Utah's
strategic location, equidistant from all major Western markets, offers unique advantages.
This transportation system includes 43,155 miles of
federal, state and local highways and roads. Of
that total, 14% is classified as urban mileage.
The three most important highways within the
state are I-15, which runs north to Idaho and
south into Arizona; I-70, an east-west route
through the central part of the state and I-80, a
coast-to-coast artery that runs through the Salt
Lake City area. These three interstate
highways are important to the efficient
transportation of goods and materials throughout
Utah. Other important links in the interstate
system are I-84 northbound into the Pacific
Northwest, and I-215, the Salt Lake County belt
route.
