History

The east-west route through St. George was added to the state highway system in 1910,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, pp. 1, 29] and in the 1920s it became part of SR-1 (US-91).Rand McNally [http://www.broermapsonline.org/members/NorthAmerica/UnitedStates/NorthernRockies/Utah/ Auto Road Atlas] , 1926] In 1964, the State Road Commission defined a new State Route 34 to be built on a new alignment around the west side of St. George, connecting proposed I-15 at exit 6 with SR-1 at St. George Boulevard and Bluff Street. The state legislature extended the route east on St. George Boulevard to I-15 in 1969, replacing what was then still SR-1. In 1974, after I-15 was completed, SR-18 (which had been extended over old SR-1 to SR-34 in 1969) was extended south to replace the original portion of SR-34, leaving the latter route on only St. George Boulevard. SR-34 was extended slightly east to River Road in 1991, since exit 8 on I-15 was converted from a trumpet to a diamond interchange.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=200609140938401 Route 34] |2=7.88 MB, updated October 2007, accessed May 2008]
