Highway system

State Route 231 (SR-231) is the shortest state highway in the U.S. state of Utah. It serves as a connection between U.S. Route 89 (US-89) and SR-31 in Fairview.

Route description

SR-231 begins at the intersection of State Street (US-89) and Milburn Road, proceeding north on the latter. After slightly less than a city block, the route comes to its northern terminus at Canyon Road (SR-31).[2] The road continues to the north towards Milburn, but it is not state-maintained beyond the SR-31 junction. The entire length of SR-231 is 0.085 miles (450 ft; 137 m).[1]

History

The road from Fairview north to Milburn was added to the state route system in 1912 as part of SR-32,[3] and in 1926 it became part of the original alignment of US-89.[4] US-89 was moved to bypass Milburn in 1937, and the old route between Fairview and Milburn was transferred to SR-91. The routes remained in this configuration until 1969, when SR-91 was removed from the state highway system in a mass deletion of minor state highways and transferred to local jurisdiction.

However, the short segment of former SR-91 between US-89 and SR-31 in Fairview continued to be used as the primary connection from northbound US-89 to eastbound SR-31, and vice versa. As a result, in the meeting of the Utah Transportation Commission on October 12, 2018, this one-block segment was re-added to the state highway system as SR-231.[5]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Fairview, Sanpete County.

gollark: Do you have *any* backups of that?

gollark: I have four partitions if you count swap actually, yes.

gollark: I have three *partitions*, does that count?

gollark: You get more RAM and PCIe lanes from Threadripper, which is *an* advantage I guess.

gollark: I can probably help with setup on some Linux distributions.
