State Route 78 (SR-78) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Utah that serves as a connector from the town of Levan and SR-28 to I-15 and the Chicken Creek Reservoir in a span of convert|9.42|mi|km|2. The route was formed in 1977 and has preserved its initial state since then.

Route description

The road begins at a diamond interchange with I-15 at exit 207. From that point, the route heads northwest as a two-lane undivided highway, running almost parallel to I-15 in the west and Chicken Creek Reservoir in the east. Once the route passes the reservoir, it eventually turns north-northwesterly until reaching the intersection of a local road, where it turns east. The route enters Levan as 100 North and soon terminates at SR-28, the main street of Levan.cite web | title=Google Maps | publisher=Google | url=http://maps.google.com ]
