State Route 989, also known as SR 989, is an unmarked state highway in Oro Valley, Arizona that is comprised of a one and a half mile stretch of Tangerine Road west of State Route 77. There are currently no plans to widen Tangerine Road and expand it to expressway/freeway standards. During the State Transportation Board monthly meeting, the board approved abandoning the Right-Of-Way of this highway to the Town of Oro Valley on July 18, 2008.

Route description

This route number was initially intended as part of a proposed highway network for the Tucson area (in this case, the Tangerine Highway) that was never implemented. While no signage exists for this highway, the road is now fully maintained by the Town of Oro Valley, the existing mile markers will be taken down in the near future. SR 989 was the highest proposed numbered route in the Arizona state highway system.

The reason this exists is because a local wash crosses the highway. In the original planning, this came first so that ADOT would be responsible for the bridge over the wash.Fact|date=May 2008. The entire right-of-way is now under the responsibility of the Town of Oro Valley.
