State Route 260 is a highway within Sevier County in central Utah that connects SR-24 to US-50 while passing through the town of Aurora in a span of four miles (6 km).
From its southern terminus at SR-24, the route goes northeast until entering Aurora, where it turns north. It continues this general direction until reaching the northern terminus of US-50.
The state legislature designated State Route 256 in 1955, running south from SR-63 (now US-50) west of Salina through Aurora to SR-11 ( US-89, now SR-24). [2] The route was removed from the state highway system in 1969, [3] but the Utah Transportation Commission restored it in 1992, soon after I-70 was completed in the area. At one of the meetings relating to disposition of the former alignment of US-89, Sevier County proposed that the state take over the road, used locally as a shortcut to reach I-15 via US-50. Early plans had it becoming part of SR-24, with the present SR-24 to Salina (old US-89) being given to the county, but this did not happen, and a new designation - State Route 170 - was used for the connection. [4] About 1.5 years later, in October 1993, the commission realized that placing SR-170 and I-70 in close proximity might cause confusion, and changed the number to SR-260. [5] [6]
The entire route is in Sevier County.
