The eastern terminus of the route is at the intersection of SR-110 (4500 West) and 1700 South (west of SR-127, 1700 south becomes the
Davis County Causeway , acauseway over theGreat Salt Lake that provides access toAntelope Island ). The route continues east until it ends at SR-108 (2000 West), while 1700 South continues east along SR-108.History
The part of 1700 South east of 2000 West in Syracuse was added to the state highway system in 1931 as SR-108, a designation it still carries. [cite UTSR law|year=1931|quote=(108) From route 1 south of Clearfield westerly to Syracuse.] From 2000 West to 4500 West, the road became a state highway in 1935, but with a different number - SR-195 (which turned north on 4500 West to Hooper). [cite UTSR law|year=1935|quote=Route 195. From Hooper on route 37 southerly to Syracuse.] The entire length of SR-195 was removed from the state highway system in 1947, [cite UTSR law|year=1947|chapter=49] but was re-added in the 1960s. A new State Route 127 was designated in 1965, following the 1700 South portion of former SR-195 and continuing west to the north end of
Antelope Island via theAntelope Island Causeway ;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=200609181324231 Route 127] |2=774 KB, updated November 2007, accessed May 2008] 4500 West was restored in 1969 as a new SR-110.Utah Department of Transportation , [http://www.udot.utah.gov/download.php/tid=1348/StateRouteHistory.pdf State Route History] , accessed July 2007] The causeway was closed in June 1983 due to high water in theGreat Salt Lake ,Craig Hansell,Salt Lake Tribune , 2,000 Acres of Antelope Island Will Open,June 30 ,1993 , p. D1] and in 1991 the state legislature passed a law to fund a reconstruction through theUtah Division of Parks and Recreation . TheUtah Transportation Commission gave the causeway to Davis County that year to make it possible for a toll to be charged, leaving SR-127 running only from SR-110 east to SR-108. The new causeway opened in July 1993, ten years after the old one had been closed.
