State Street (Salt Lake County) partially coincident with U.S. Route 89 in Utah
State Street is a wide 17.3-mile-long (27.8 km) street in Salt Lake County, Utah leading almost straight south from the steps of the Utah State Capitol Building, through Salt Lake City (including Downtown Salt Lake City), South Salt Lake, Millcreek, Murray (including the Murray Downtown Historic District), eastern Midvale, Sandy (including the Sandy Historic District and downtown Sandy), and northwestern Draper. Because it follows the most direct route from downtown Salt Lake City to the Point of the Mountain pass to Utah County, it was the undisputed main road south from Salt Lake City until Interstate 15 (I-15) was built to the west (but closely paralleling it). It retains the U.S. Highway 89 (US 89) designation for all but the northernmost seven blocks (which are part of State Route 186 (SR 186) instead) despite I-15's proximity. Due to its history as a route for long-distance travel, travel within the Wasatch Front region, and travel between the cities along the east side of the Jordan River, it has attracted a wide variety of retail and service businesses along its entire length, creating a nearly continuous commercial axis for the Salt Lake Valley.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 of 1700 South, it passes west of a Salt Lake Community College campus built around the former South High School and then passes west of the Liberty Wells neighborhood. North of 900 South (former State Route 176) State Street has traffic signals every block, which is a change from the long signal spacings (often a half-mile or more) that benefit long-distance traffic further south. Outside of the somewhat similar Murray Downtown Historic District, the frontage from 700 South to 600 South is unique within State Street's length due to its uninterrupted mix of zero-setback pre-war-style buildings. 500 South and 600 South (both State Route 269) are one-way streets that provide access to and from I-15, respectively. Between 500 South and 400 South, State Street passes between the Scott Matheson State Courthouse and Washington Square, site of the City and County Building. The UTA TRAX Red Line crosses State Street in the median of 400 South. 400 South is also where US Highway 89 turns west to bypass the core of downtown; State Street north of 400 South as well as 400 South west of State Street have the State Route 186 designation instead.The area northwest of the 400 South intersection is the Exchange Place Historic District, and the middle of the block northwest of the 300 South (Broadway) intersection is the Gallivan Center. Between 200 South and South Temple, State Street passes the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco building, the Wallace Bennett Federal Building, the City Creek Center, and the former Hansen Planetarium building. State Street is spanned by the Eagle Gate just north of South Temple, next to the Beehive House and Brigham Young Complex. The LDS Church Office Building is at the southwest corner of State Street's intersection with North Temple (100 North and previously the route used by US-89 to leave the core of downtown). City Creek disappears underground near this intersection. Beyond North Temple, State Street suddenly narrows and begins climbing Capitol Hill. State Street ends two blocks later at the steps leading to the Utah Capitol Building. State Route 186 continues by turning west on 300 North, then quickly north again to eventually reach US Highway 89 northwest of Capitol Hill.
