next_route=199 State Route 198 is a highway completely within Utah County in northern Utah that connects Santaquin to Spanish Fork via Payson and Salem. The route runs sixteen miles. The entire length of the route is an old routing of US-6 and US-50; a portion of the route was also US-91. These routes were re-aligned or truncated as and after the Interstate Highway System was constructed through this part of Utah.

Route description

From its western terminus at Interstate 15 in Santaquin, the route heads north-northeast until reaching Payson, where it straightens out to the north. This portion of the route is 100 West in Payson. Soon after, the highway turns east on State Road. The highway veers northeast and eventually to the north-northeast until Spanish Fork, where it runs north again. The route turns east on Canyon Road, eventually turning to the southeast until reaching US-6, where it terminates.

History

The roads from Santaquin northeast to Spanish Fork and Spanish Fork southeast to Moark Junction were added to the state highway system in the early 1910s.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=71617130746099280 Route 1] |2=35.4 MB, updated September 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=200609121733533 Route 8] |2=16.8 MB, updated September 2007, accessed May 2008] In the 1920s, the former back part of SR-1 and US-91, and the latter part of SR-8 and US-89.Rand McNally [http://www.broermapsonline.org/members/NorthAmerica/UnitedStates/NorthernRockies/Utah/ Auto Road Atlas] , 1926] Bureau of Public Roads, , [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=200609191546571 Route 198] |2=3.00 MB, updated November 2007, accessed May 2008]
