State Route 186 (SR-186) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Utah connecting US-89 in the north side of Salt Lake City to I-80 and I-215 in the southeastern side of the city. The route is convert|9.34|mi|km|2 and is routed entirely along Victory Road and portions of Columbus Road, 300 North, State Street, University Boulevard (400 and 500 South), and Foothill Boulevard (entirely).

The highway was formed in 1935, initially going from what is now US-89 in Downtown east on 400 South, west on 200 South after a gap, and south on 1300 East to US-40, now 2100 South. At one point, the highway extended west to the Salt Lake City International Airport, but this connection was lost in 2007 when SR-186 was aligned to cover all of former SR-184, which was decommissioned that same year.

Route description

The highway begins at the intersection of Beck Street (US-89) and Victory Road. The route heads up Victory Road as a two-lane undivided highway, climbing up a slope to reach the northwesetern periphery of the the Avenues neighborhood. As it enters the Avenues, the route transfers onto Columbus Street, running on the western boundary of the Utah State Capitol. The highway turns east for a brief time on 300 North on the southern boundary of the Capitol and then turns south on State Street. It continues on State Street for seven blocks before turning east on 400 South. The University UTA TRAX line runs along SR-186 from this point to Rice-Eccles Stadium. The road continues east and veers south one block, subsequently becoming 500 South. The route approaches the University of Utah before turning southeast and becoming Foothill Road. The route continues southeast before connecting to I-80, southbound I-215, and westbound Parleys Way.cite web | title=Google Maps | publisher=Google | url=http://maps.google.com ]

History

The state legislature created State Route 186 in 1935. Its original route began at SR-1 (US-91, now US-89) at the corner of State Street and 400 South, and followed the present route east to the University of Utah, but then it turned north with a gap through the university grounds, west on 200 South, and south on 1300 East to end at SR-4 (US-40, now 2100 South). [cite UTSR law|year=1935|quote=Route 186. From route 1 in Salt Lake City east via Fourth South Street to Tenth East Street, thence via Fifth South Street to the State University, and from the State University west on Second South Street to Thirteenth East Street, thence south to route 4.] In 1941, the portion on 1300 East was transferred to SR-181, [cite UTSR law|year=1941|chapter=34|quote=Route 181. From a point on route 1 in Salt Lake City southeasterly to the State Capitol, thence via State Street to South Temple Street; thence east to Thirteenth East Street, thence south to junction with route 4.] the block on 200 South was removed, and extensions were added at both ends - east via Foothill Drive to SR-4 at the mouth of Parley's Canyon and west via 400 South to SR-68 (Redwood Road). [cite UTSR law|year=1941|chapter=34|quote=Route 186. From route 68 in Salt Lake City easterly via Fourth South, Tenth East and Fifth South Streets and the State University to route 4 near the mouth of Parleys Canyon.] In 1966, the State Road Commission extended the route southwest on a proposed roadway to I-215, but the Bureau of Public Roads denied the request to build it with federal aid because placing an interchange at that location on I-215 was infeasible, and it was cut back to SR-68 in 1967.Utah Department of Transportation, [http://www.udot.utah.gov/main/f?p=100:pg:5285268476414239680:::1:T,V:1348, Highway Resolutions] : PDFlink|1= [http://www.udot.utah.gov/main/uconowner.gf?n=200609191025021 Route 186] |2=4.31 MB, updated October 2007, accessed May 2008]

North Temple Street west of 300 West (SR-1, now US-89) was added to the state highway system in 1931 as part of SR-67. [cite UTSR law|year=1931|quote=(67) From Salt Lake City westerly via North Temple street and Airport to junction with route 4 near Salt Lake-Tooele county line.] Since it was along the planned alignment for I-80, it became SR-2 in 1962, but the portion east of an interchange near the Salt Lake City International Airport was due to be bypassed by the Interstate, and so in 1966 that piece became State Route 267.Utah Department of Transportation, [http://www.udot.utah.gov/main/f?p=100:pg:5285268476414239680:::1:T,V:1348, Highway Resolutions] : PDFlink|1= [http://www.udot.utah.gov/main/uconowner.gf?n=200609201356051 Route 267] |2=1.66 MB, updated December 2007, accessed May 2008] State Route 176 was built in 1933 with federal aid and numbered in 1935, forming an alternate to SR-1 through downtown Salt Lake City. Its original route began at South Temple Street and 300 West , and ran south on 300 West and east on 900 South to State Street. [cite UTSR law|year=1935|quote=Route 176. From route 1 in Salt Lake City south via Second West and Ninth South to route 1.] The north end was extended one block to North Temple Street in 1962, when SR-1 was moved from South to North Temple, and in 1967 the south end was removed from 900 South and sent down 300 West to SR-171 (3300 South). The latter extension was done in exchange for State Route 202, which followed Main Street between SR-201 (2100 South) and SR-171 from 1961 to 1967.Utah Department of Transportation, [http://www.udot.utah.gov/main/f?p=100:pg:5285268476414239680:::1:T,V:1348, Highway Resolutions] : PDFlink|1= [http://www.udot.utah.gov/main/uconowner.gf?n=200609190948311 Route 176] |2=2.24 MB, updated November 2007, accessed May 2008] Utah Department of Transportation, [http://www.udot.utah.gov/main/f?p=100:pg:5285268476414239680:::1:T,V:1348, Highway Resolutions] : PDFlink|1= [http://www.udot.utah.gov/main/uconowner.gf?n=200609191553311 Route 202] |2=639 KB, updated November 2007, accessed May 2008] Both of these routes - SR-176 and SR-267 - became part of SR-186 in 1969. The parts of SR-186 (400 South) west of SR-176 (300 West) and SR-176 south of SR-186 were dropped from the state highway system, and SR-186 was extended north on 300 West to North Temple and west on North Temple to I-80, replacing the remainder of SR-176 and all of SR-267.

State Route 184 was created in 1963, running north from SR-1 at North Temple and State Streets around the west side of the State Capitol and back to SR-1 north of downtown. [cite UTSR law|year=1963|quote=Route 184. From route 1 at North Temple and State Streets in Salt Lake City northerly via State Street to the State Capitol, thence westerly via Second North and northerly via Columbus Street and Victory Road to route 1 at Beck Street.] The roadway had previously been part of SR-181 since 1935, [cite UTSR law|year=1935|quote=Route 181. From a point on route 1 in Salt Lake City near the Municipal Hot Springs, thence on a route to be selected by the state road commission, to the State Capitol, thence via State Street to South Temple Street; thence east to Thirteenth East Street, thence south to junction with route 186.] but with SR-1 moving from South Temple to North Temple, a new number was needed to avoid a one-block overlap. SR-184 remained a separate route until 2007, when North Temple west of State Street was given to Salt Lake City for its planned Airport TRAX light rail line. Since North Temple had carried US-89 east of 300 West, that route was realigned to use what had been SR-186 on 300 West and 400 South, cutting SR-186's west end back to 400 South and State Street. But that intersection was also the south end of SR-184, and SR-186 was extended to absorb SR-184.

Major intersections

The entire route is in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County.
