State Route 132 is a state highway in the U.S. state of Utah. It connects US-6 in Lynndyl to US-89 at Pigeon Hollow Junction, crossing I-15 in Nephi.

The route was formally established in 1933 with the purpose of connecting Nephi to US-50, which is now US-6. In 1945, the route was swapped with SR-148, forming the present route west of Nephi. In 1969, the route was extended east to Pigeon Hollow Junction along a roadway that had been signed as U.S. Route 189 in the 1930s.

Route description

The route starts in Millard County at US-6 in Lynndyl, north of Delta and south of Little Sahara Recreation Area, and travels east through Leamington before turning northeast and entering Juab County. The route continues northeast, crossing the Sevier River, gradually turning east before entering Nephi and crossing I-15. Leaving Nephi, the route enters Salt Creek Canyon, where it intersects the Nebo Loop Scenic Byway, before turning southeast, entering Sanpete County. From here, the route turns south-southeast, passing through Fountain Green and Moroni, after which the route turns south through Chester before ending at the intersection with US-89.

History

The road from SR-1 (US-91, now SR-28) in Nephi to and beyond Pigeon Hollow Junction was added to the state highway system 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=200609121819241 Route 11] |2=5.62 MB, updated January 2008, accessed May 2008] and became part of State Route 11 in the 1920s.Rand McNally [http://www.broermapsonline.org/members/NorthAmerica/UnitedStates/NorthernRockies/Utah/ Auto Road Atlas] , 1926] As the part south of Pigeon Hollow Junction was (and still is) marked as US-89, the Nephi-Pigeon Hollow Junction connection was marked as a branch, US-189, from about 1930 [Rand McNally [http://members.aol.com/utahhwyz/histmaps/31us189.jpgAuto Road Atlas] , 1931] until 1938 (when a new US-189 was created).Soda Springs Sun, Road Routing Of U.S. 89 Settled, December 15, 1938]

West of Nephi, State Route 132 was created in 1933 to connect Nephi to SR-26 (US-50, now US-6) near Jericho. [cite UTSR law|year=1933|chapter=30|quote=(132) From Nephi westerly to connect with route 26 near Jericho.] State Route 148 was also created at that time, connecting SR-26 in Lynndyl to Leamington, [cite UTSR law|year=1933|chapter=30|quote=(148) From Leamington westerly to junction with route 126 [sic] .] and two years later it was extended to meet SR-132 west of Nephi. [cite UTSR law|year=1935|quote=Route 148. From Lynndyl northeasterly via Leamington to junction with route 132 west of Nephi.] SR-132 and SR-148 were swapped in 1945, giving SR-132 its current route west of Nephi. [cite UTSR law|year=1945|quote=Route 132. From Nephi on route 1 southwesterly to Lynndyl on route 26." "Route 148. From route 132 northwesterly to route 26 near Jericho.] SR-148 was removed from the state highway system in 1969,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=200609181657351 Route 148] |2=2.20 MB, updated November 2007, accessed May 2008] and at the same time SR-132 was extended east to Pigeon Hollow Junction, replacing part of SR-11.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=200609181329501 Route 132] |2=2.04 MB, updated November 2007, accessed May 2008] (The next piece to the south became part of SR-32.)
