Route description

SR-19 begins at an interchange with I-70 west of Green River, then heads east through the center of town and turns south through the Utah Launch Complex of White Sands Missile Range. It ends at a frontage road just south of another intersection with I-70.[1]

History
Westbound on SR‑19, August 2012

The main road through Green River was added to the state highway system in 1912,[2] and numbered as part of US-50 in the 1920s.[3] The state legislature defined the portion through Green River as State Route 19 in 1969, although the bypass on I-70 had not yet been built.[4] Construction had begun in the mid-1980s, and when finished, the old route, along with a new connection to exit 164, became SR-19.[5]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Green River.

gollark: Basically, I've set it up (well, theoretically, I don't think it works that well) to use an FTS5 table and to insert stuff into that whenever a row is inserted into `revisions`, so I can do full text search.
