State Route 60 (SR-60) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Utah, serving local traffic in the Ogden area. It parallels I-84 from SR-26 in Riverdale to US-89 in South Weber, and was part of the first state highway into Weber Canyon.

Route description

The entire length of SR-60 is just south of the Weber River and north of the Davis-Weber Canal in the cities of Riverdale and South Weber. The highway begins at SR-26 (Riverdale Road) and heads south under I-84, turning southeast at the SR-168 intersection and slowly climbing towards the end at US-89. Cornia Drive - formerly SR-49A - continues straight at the east terminus, an interchange with US-89 near the mouth of the Weber Canyon. Traffic wanting to continue east through the canyon, leaving the Weber Valley to cross the Wasatch Range, heads north on US-89 to I-84.Google Maps street maps and USGS topographic maps, accessed July 2008 via [http://mapper.acme.com/ ACME Mapper] ]
