# List of state highways serving Utah state parks and institutions

In the U.S. state of Utah, some state highways have been specifically designated to serve state parks and state institutions. The range of numbers from State Route 281 to State Route 320 has been used for this purpose since 1969.

## State Route 281

State Route 281 served Dixie College (now Utah Tech University) in St. George until 1991. It was created in 1935 as State Route 191, connecting SR-1 (US-91, now SR-34) to the college. The route was renumbered to State Route 181A in 1945, State Route 67 in 1962, and finally SR-281 in 1969. The route was removed from the state highway system in 1991 as part of the trade that created SR-8; the final routing was about 2.05 miles (3.30 km) long and extended south from SR-34 via 700 East to and around the college.

## State Route 282

State Route 282 consists of three segments named Campus Center Drive, South Campus Drive, Mario Capecchi Drive, and North Campus Drive, totaling 2.942 miles (4.735 km). The route connects the University of Utah in Salt Lake City with several points on its border: SR-186 (500 South) at Guardsman Way, University Street at 400 South, SR-186 (Foothill Boulevard) west of Wakara Way, and 100 South east of Wolcott Street. The university roads were added to the state highway system in 1935 as part of SR-186, and were split off as State Route 181A in 1962 and renumbered SR-282 in 1969. The segments along Wasatch Drive and Medical Drive North were taken off the state system in 1988 and given to the University of Utah.

## State Route 283

State Route 283 served the College of Eastern Utah in Price until 2001, running north from SR-55 (100 North) along 300 East and then looping around the college for a total distance of about 1.33 miles (2.14 km). The route was created in 1939, numbered State Route 182A in 1945, and renumbered SR-283 in 1969. The connection between SR-55 and the campus was moved from 400 East to 300 East in 1978 as part of a realignment of SR-55. In 2001, it was given to the city of Price so they could close one block of 600 North.

## State Route 284

State Route 284 is a 1.713-mile (2.757 km) five-segment route that serves Weber State University in Ogden. It consists of a three-quarters loop with two outlets onto SR-203 (Harrison Boulevard) and two more onto Taylor Avenue and Skyline Parkway. The route was created in 1940, numbered State Route 184A in 1945, and renumbered SR-284 in 1969.

## State Route 285

State Route 285 runs for 0.333 miles (0.536 km) from 20th Street northwest to Monroe Boulevard.

## State Route 286

State Route 286 is a two-segment 1.306-mile (2.102 km) route that loops around the Ogden–Weber Technical College in Ogden, with a one-way pair spurring west to SR-235 (Washington Boulevard) near that route's south end. Exits to Monroe Boulevard and North Street are not part of SR-286. It was created in 1935 as State Route 183 and originally serviced the Utah State Industrial School. It was renumbered SR-286 in 1969, while the Industrial School closed in 1983 and was replaced by the current college in 1984.

## State Route 287

State Route 287 (Pony Express Road) is a 0.4234-mile (0.6814 km) state highway in Draper that connects SR-140 (14600 South) with Bitterbrush Lane (the site of the former Utah State Prison). Pony Express Road is also the west-side frontage road of I-15. The route was created as State Route 187 in 1935, serving the old Sugar House Prison on SR-4 in Sugar House. In 1941 the prison was moved to another former location, and the route was renumbered SR-287 in 1969. I-15 was built over the former US 91 by 1971, at which time SR-287 was reconnected to the state highway system via the new frontage road and 14600 South. The portion on 14600 South became SR-140 in 1984.
On July 15, 2022, the Utah State Prison was closed after the prisoners were moved to the new Utah State Correctional Facility (USCF) in western Salt Lake City. Although no longer serves its original purpose connecting to a state facility, as of January 2025, SR-287 remains as a state highway, with no designated state highway connecting the new USCF.

## State Route 288

State Route 288 served the Utah State University in Logan until 2007. It was created in 1935 as State Route 188 and renumbered SR-288 in 1969. The final routing, stretching about 0.985 miles (1.585 km) from US-89 north on 1200 East and west on 1000 North to SR-237 (800 East), was deleted in 2007, simultaneously with the deletions of SR-237, SR-238, and SR-239 and creation of SR-252.

## State Route 289

In 1962 it was extended east to Harrison Boulevard (SR-39, now SR-203). State Route 183A was created in 1939 and numbered in 1945, running east on 7th Street from SR-1 to what was then the Utah State Tuberculosis Sanatorium on the east side of Harrison Boulevard. This route was deleted in 1963 as a transfer for 12th Street, which was designated SR-205, but in 1968 the roads at the old sanitorium, then a new campus of the Schools for the Deaf and the Blind, were readded as part of SR-182. SR-182 was split between SR-285 and SR-291 in 1969, with the piece on 20th Street being removed from the state highway system.

## State Route 295

State Route 295 served the Utah Department of Public Safety's Orem Office until 2003. The route was created in 1982 but deleted in 2003, since the land had been sold and the office moved to a location with no driver's license test course.
