State Route 13 (SR-13) is a state highway in northern Utah, running 32.841 miles parallel to I-15 in Box Elder County from Brigham City to Riverside. Most of SR-13 is a former routing of U.S. Route 191.

Route description

SR-13 begins at an intersection with US-89 and US-91 at the south end of Brigham City and heads north through the city, the turns west at the north end of the city to intersect I-15 and I-84. It continues northwest across the Bear River through Corinne and turns north parallel to I-15 and I-84 through Bear River City. It intersects I-15 and I-84 at Elwood and continues north around the east side of Tremonton.

North of Tremonton, SR-13 continues north through Riverside and Plymouth, turning northwest to end at another intersection with I-15 near Plymouth.

History

The road from SR-1 (US-91, now SR-90) in Brigham City north to the Idaho state line became a state highway 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=200609121734473 Route 41] |2=10.9 MB, updated October 2007, accessed May 2008] It was initially assigned the State Route 17 designation in the 1920s,Rand McNally [http://www.broermapsonline.org/members/NorthAmerica/UnitedStates/NorthernRockies/Utah/ Auto Road Atlas] , 1926] but in 1927 the state legislature changed the designation to State Route 41. [cite UTSR law|year=1927|quote=41. From Brigham northwesterly to Corinne, thence northerly via Tremonton and Garland to the Utah-Idaho State line near Portage, Utah.] The portion south of SR-42 (now SR-102) in Tremonton became part of U.S. Route 30S in 1926,Bureau of Public Roads, . [cite UTSR law|year=1935|quote=Route 82. From a point on route 41 two miles east of Tremonton thence north to Garland Sugar Factory on route 41.]

The SR-41 designation was dropped in 1962, as State Routes 1 to 5 were assigned to proposed Interstate Highways, and SR-41 was on the route of I-15 (SR-1). However, since I-15 near Brigham City was almost complete, only the portion of SR-41 north of Riverside became SR-1; the remainder was instead renumbered as an extension of SR-84, which had ended at Hot Springs Junction north of Ogden. Since the original proposed alignment of I-15 would have passed east of Tremonton and Riverside, this extension of SR-84 turned east at Riverside, following present SR-30 to SR-154 (Garland Road). When SR-154 was removed from the state highway system in 1969, SR-84 was extended farther east over part of it to SR-69 (now SR-38) near Collinston. Finally, in the 1977 renumbering, the part of SR-84 between Hot Springs Junction and Brigham City was redesignated US-89, and State Route 13 was created for the portion between Brigham City and Collinston.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=200609181109591 Route 84] |2=6.85 MB, updated November 2007, accessed May 2008]

By 1982, proposed I-15 had been moved west to its current alignment north of Tremonton, and a new SR-129 was created to connect it with Riverside along present SR-30. For continuity, SR-13 was cut back to Riverside, with the Riverside-Collinston portion also becoming SR-129. SR-13 was extended north from Riverside to I-15 at exit 392 near Plymouth in 1988, replacing what had been maintained as temporary I-15. A small realignment was made in 2008 at the SR-83 intersection in Corinne, moving SR-13 from the diagonal routing alongside the rail line to a straight north-south routing on 4800 West.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=200609121823461 Route 13] |2=4.69 MB, updated February 2008, accessed May 2008]
