State Route 36 is a highway in northern Utah connecting US-6 in northern Juab County to I-80 in northern Tooele County.

Route description

From its southern terminus west of Eureka, SR-36 heads northwest until Vernon, where it turns north. It continues this general direction, eventually heading more to the northeast, until the northern terminus at Mills Junction northeast of Stansbury Park.

History

The road from SR-4 (US-40, now SR-138) at Mills Junction south to Clover, forming part of the Lincoln Highway, was added to the state highway system in 1910 (Mills Junction to Tooele) and 1912 (Tooele to Clover).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=200609140942211 Route 36] |2=1.79 MB, updated October 2007, accessed May 2008] A 1925 law extended it south from Saint John Station (northeast of Clover) to Tintic Junction, [cite UTSR law|year=1925|quote= ] and in 1927 the state legislature assigned the SR-36 designation to the route from Mills Junction to Tooele Junction, as well as the spur to Clover [cite UTSR|year=1927|quote=36. From Mill Junction Tooele county, via Tooele, Stockton, St. John station, thence southerly by Vernon to Tintic Junction; also from St. John station to Clover.] until 1931, when it became SR-58. [cite UTSR law|year=1931|quote=(58) From St. John station on route 36 to Clover.] Due to a relocation of SR-2 (which had replaced SR-4), from old US-40 (SR-138) to present I-80, SR-36 was extended north from Mills Junction to SR-2 (I-80) at Lake Point Junction in 1965. The south leg of the triangular intersection at Tintic Junction was designated State Route 67 by the legislature in 1975, only to be changed back to a spur of SR-36 in 1991 because of motorist confusion.
