State Route 195 (SR-195) was a state highway in the U.S. state of Utah, following 2300 East in Salt Lake County. It was created in 1947, extended south of I-80 in 1968, and removed from the state highway system in 2006 and 2007.

Route description

SR-195 was a straight north-south route along 2300 East between SR-266 (4500 South) and a partial interchange with I-80 near 2700 South. Staying about convert|4600|ft|m above sea level, the road was near the east end of the gently sloping Salt Lake Valley. At about 3500 South, SR-195 crossed Mill Creek, one of many westward-flowing streams coming off the Wasatch Range.Google Maps street maps and USGS topographic maps, accessed July 2008 via [http://mapper.acme.com/ ACME Mapper] ]

History

The state legislature created SR-195 in 1947, following 2300 East from SR-4 (US-40, now Parleys Way) north to SR-186. [cite UTSR law|year=1947|chapter=49|quote=Route 195. From route 4 in Salt Lake City north via Twenty-third East Street to route 186.] The State Road Commission extended the route south from SR-186 to proposed I-80 in 1961, and beyond to Holladay Boulevard near Murray-Holladay Road (former SR-174) in Holladay in 1968, at the same time as it removed SR-152 from that area. However, when the legislature approved the latter change, it instead placed the south terminus at a newly-created extension of SR-266 (4500 South). The portion north of I-80, including the never-built piece between I-80 and 2100 South, was given back to Salt Lake City in 1981. The portion within Holladay was relinquished in 2006, and the legislature deleted the remainder the next year.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=6939425300150341 Route 195] |2=7.63 MB, updated November 2007, accessed May 2008]
