Route description

The highway begins at a diamond interchange on I-15 heading east and quickly turns north into Main Street. It continues in a northerly direction through the center of the town of Beaver for about 3 miles (4.8 km). In the main part of town, it intersects with SR-21 to the west and SR-153 to the east. After leaving town to the north, the route turns back to the west and ends at another diamond interchange with I-15.

History

The current incarnation of State Route 160 was created in 1961 while I-15 was under construction in the area.[2] It consisted of just 0.4 miles (0.64 km) of road from the I-15 interchange about 1.3 miles (2.1 km) south of Beaver northwest to US-91 (SR-1), which ran through the center of town as Main Street. At the same time, State Route 161 was also created, serving a similar purpose, but on the interchange 1 mile (1.6 km) north of Beaver.

When I-15 was completed north of town in 1964, SR-1 was rerouted as it left Beaver to connect with the new interstate, following the same route as SR-161.[3] As a result, SR-161 was withdrawn to avoid the two state routes overlapping. In 1969, the rest of SR-1 through the town was realigned with I-15. As a result, SR-160 was extended northward to follow the former route of SR-1 along main street north through town, then turning northwest to the interchange at I-15.[2]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Beaver, Beaver County.
