The State Road is a 17.3 mile (27.8 km) road in Salt Lake County, Utah that leads south almost directly from the steps of the Utah State Capitol Building, through Salt Lake City (including Downtown Salt Lake City), South Salt Lake, West Millcreek Township, Murray (including Murray Downtown Historic District), East Midvale, Sandy (including Sandy Historic District and Downtown Sandy), and northwest Draper. Because it follows the most direct route from downtown Salt Lake City to Point of the Mountain pass to Utah County, it is the undeniable main road south from Salt Lake City until Interstate 15 is built on the west (but almost aligned). It retains the US Highway 89 designation for all but the seven northernmost blocks (which are part of State Route 186 instead) despite the I-15 distance. Because of its history as a route for long-distance travel, travel within the Wasatch Front, and travel between towns along the eastern side of the Jordan River, has attracted retail and service businesses throughout the whole, creating an almost continuous commercial axle for the Salt Lake Valley.

Route description
In addition to along a portion of its length in Midvale and southern Murray which is currently (in 2012) rebuilt and widened to match the rest, the entire length of State Street to the south of the North Temple has sidewalks on both sides and is a uniform six. the wide lane plus the middle turn lane or (sometimes) the low median barrier. There is also a local Utah Transit Authority bus service along the way.
Draper
Modern State Street starts at Draper near exit I-15 291 with connection to Utah State Route 71 (12300 South). It cut off Utah State Route 175 (11400 South) on the border with Sandy.
Sandy
State Street continues north through the Crescent neighborhood, past the historic Crescent Elementary School site, and enters Downtown Sandy. It cuts off the Southern 10600, which becomes State Route 151 short distance to the west, and passes through a large retail area that includes the big box stores and the South Towne Mall. The road climbs a small hill to cross the Jordan River and the Salt Lake Pass, then passes a cemetery and a small amount of undeveloped greenland near the intersection of the Dry River before reaching a larger hill where the East Jordan Tunnel is carved. At the top of this hill, the road passes west of Jordan High School and South Towne Expo Center before cutting 9400 South (former State Route 209). To the north of the intersection, Jordan's East Canal passes under the road to Holladay, and Rio Tinto Stadium faces the west side street. Just before the intersection with 9000 South (State Route 209 modern), State Street passes the former smelter site (which now has a medical center built in part of it). The road forms the western boundary of Sandy's Historic District from 9000 South to Pioneer Avenue (8530 South), and several historic buildings face it in this area. There is a traffic signal at the intersection with Sandy Main Street on 8720 South. In the north of the historic district, State Street passes some relatively little land near the city border with Midvale, although there are several townhouse developments underway in the area.
Midvale
Immediately upon entering Midvale, State Street passed Jordan and the Salt Lake Canal for the second time and then quickly fell into the trench to pass under the UTA TRAX Blue Line. After coming out of the trench again, he cut off the 7800 South and a short way to the west (along the south edge of the Midvale post office facility) to the Midvale Center station on the Blue Line. The short distance north of this intersection is the intersection with Center Street (7720 South and formerly State Route 48). The Greenwood Health Center of the Utah University Health system is on the east side of the northern 7500 South road (Greenwood Avenue). At Fort Union Boulevard (7200 South), State Street enters a denser commercial corridor with a strip mall along most routes to the border with Murray and begins to curve very little east.
Murray
State Street results through most of Murray at a slight angle of perfect north-south orientation elsewhere, moving 100 address units (660 ft, 200 m) east over a span of approximately 2000 north-to-south address units (2.5 miles, 4 km). Similar to the northern end of the Midvale segment, State Street south of Interstate 215 in Murray is mostly surrounded by strip malls and a mix of other small specialty retail businesses. After crossing Interstate 215 (where there is a couple that leads east and off the beaten path), State Street cuts off Winchester Street (which connects to the western ramp) and passes west of Fashion Place Mall. Large box stores lined the streets near the mall, and the Orthopedic Special Hospital (TOSH, formerly Cottonwood Hospital) just east of State Street at 5900 South. Between 5900 South and 5300 South, there is a concentration of car dealers. Murray High School and Hillcrest Junior High School (not to be confused with Hillcrest High School) are on the opposite side of the 5300 South South road (State Route 173) and connected by a pedestrian bridge. North 5300 South, State Street passes Intermountain Medical Center (built on the Murray Smelter site) and Murray Park before crossing Little Cottonwood Creek and into the Murray Town Center Historic District.
Inside the downtown area of ​​Murray, State Street passes Murray town hall and Murray Theater before cutting off Vine Street (former State Route 173). Passing through the Desert Star Theater, Commercial Building and Warenski-Duvall Apartments, and other massive retrograde buildings with ground floor retailing while walking west of Murray Housing Central Historic District, then cut 4800 South (formerly State Route 174, also known as Murray -Holladay Road east State Street and Murray-Taylorsville Road west of State Street) less than two blocks north of the Vine Street intersection.
Beyond that, the environment will return to the construction of lower densities (including many car dealers) before State Street cuts 4500 South (State Route 266) and approaches the Big Cottonwood Creek intersection. Near the river and the Millcreek Township boundary, the road passes east of the transit-oriented development around the North Murray light rail station and then the Murray Laundry Tower, a multi-story high cylinder of Art Deco design with a vertically oriented sign read "Rain Soft Artesian Water Murray Laundry" on.
Millcreek Township
Millcreek Township's short part of State Street includes a mixture of small-scale retail and car dealers similar to parts of Murray and the adjacent South Salt Lake. It enters South Salt Lake at the intersection with 3900 South.
South Salt Lake
Right inside the border of South Salt Lake, State Street passes the world's first Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise, located on the western side of the road. This location is still a KFC restaurant, but the original building has been replaced with a new one. A few blocks north is the Avalon Theater. South of 3300 South (State Route 171), there is a Chinatown themed development. State Street crosses Mill Creek around 3000 South and then passes through the school and administration building of the Granite School District Primary School located in a former hospital in about 2500 South. State Street provides access to I-80 at exit I-80 124. The South Salt Lake City Hall is just east of State Street in this area, on the south side of I-80. Beyond I-80, State Street crosses S Line (formerly known as Sugar House Streetcar) right down the road and passes through an area with many unused industrial buildings planned to be rebuilt in connection with the tram project.
Salt Lake City
State Street enters Salt Lake City at 2100 South (State Route 201) and immediately passes west of the Salt Lake County Government Center. North 1700 South, passes west of the Salt Lake Community College campus built around the former South High School and then passes west of the Liberty Wells neighborhood. North 900 South (formerly State Route 176) State Street has traffic signals every block, which is a change of long signal distances (often half a mile or so) that favored long distance traffic further south. Outside the somewhat similar Murray Downtown Historic District, the front from 700 South to 600 South is unique in State Street distance because of its uninterrupted mix of pre-war buildings without setbacks. 500 South and 600 South (both State Routes 269) are one-way streets that provide access to and from I-15, respectively. Between 500 South and 400 South, State Street passes between Scott Matheson State Courthouse and Washington Square, the location of the City and County Building. The Red Line UTA TRAX crosses State Road in the median 400 South. 400 South is also where US Highway 89 turns west to pass through the city center; State Street north 400 South as well as 400 South west State Street has the State Route 186 designation instead.
The northwest area of ​​the 400 South junction is the Historic District of Exchange Place, and the central part of the northwest block from the junction of South 300 (Broadway) is the Gallivan Center. Between 200 South and South Baitals, State Street passes through the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, Wallace Bennett Federal Building, the City Creek Center, and the former Hansen Planetarium building. The State Road is set by the Eagle Bird Gate in the north of the Southern Temple, next to the Beehive House and Brigham Young Complex. OSZA Church Office Building is located at the southwestern corner of the National Road junction with the North Temple (100 North and earlier routes used by US-89 to leave the city center). City Creek disappeared underground near this intersection. Outside the North Temple, State Road suddenly narrowed and started climbing Capitol Hill. State Street ends two blocks later on the stairs leading to the Utah Capitol Building. The State Route 186 continues by turning west on 300 North, then quickly north again to finally reach the US Highway 89 northwest of Capitol Hill.

Addressing
South of Murray, State Street is very close to the north-south shaft of the Salt Lake County addressing system (basically Salt Lake Meridian). At Murray, however, it gradually shifts eastward before merging with the East 100 (that is, moving eastward about 660 feet, which is the wide block of Salt Lake City). To the north of Murray, Main Street runs along the north-south axis of the addressing system instead. This does not cause much confusion for people looking for businesses along State Street because most businesses have addresses of the "#### South State Street" form (rather than something involving road side names) because of the recognition of the State Road; However, there are exceptions to this, mostly in downtown Murray, and the residential address is really attached to the north-south axis, so it's not always easy to determine what side of State Street addresses in Murray from the active "x East y Street" form when x is between 0 and 100.
Like all north-south roads in Salt Lake County, the odd-numbered addresses located south of the Southern Temple are on the eastern side of State Street, while north of the Southern Temple, the odd numbered addresses are on the west side.
History
State Street north of Vine Street in Murray was used as part of a route for a cart carrying quartz monzonite dug in the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon for use in building the Salt Lake Temple, until the railroad provides an easier route. Streetcars also extends south along the way as far as Murray in the early 20th century.
State Street initially continued south from the current terminus along the route now used by I-15: it continues straight south along the Salt Lake Meridian until it spins to run along the southern Utah railroad line, now owned by the Utah Transit Authority (UTA ) and is proposed for use in UTA's two phase TRTA Blue Line, around Point of the Mountain. Opposite Point of the Mountain, it connects directly to State Street Utah County. From the time I-15 was built until about 2000, the lane of the State Street vehicle connects directly to the I-15 at the point where the I-15 merges with the Salt Lake Meridian, but this only north-south connection was eliminated when the I-15 was rebuilt for out of Omnidirectional on SR-71 just south due to increased development on all sides.
In 1983, City Creek flooded and much of its stream was diverted to State Street to a storm gutter in the Butte Creek Red basin near 1300 South.
Large intersection
The entire route is in Salt Lake County.
