[edit] Route description

From its southern terminus with SR-24, the highway heads northwest and veers more toward the north before meeting Interstate 70. Two-hundredths of a mile later, the route terminates at a sign indicating the beginning of Federal Route 2570.

[edit] History

[edit] Previous route

Formed in 1957, this version of SR-259 went from SR-11 (now US-89A) in Kanab to the Glen Canyon Dam. Twenty years later, in 1977, the route was deleted and transferred to US-89.^[2]

[edit] Current route

In 1992, today's SR-259 was created. The designation that was given at that time has been maintained today.^[2]
