[edit] Route description

SR-28 begins at an intersection with US-89 in central Gunnison and heads north and northwest to Fayette. It continues northwest past the Sevier Bridge Reservoir and northeast past the Skinner Peaks and Horse Heaven Mountain to Levan.^[1]

SR-28 then continues north through Levan to Nephi, where it intersects I-15 at the south end of the town and continues north along the former I-15 Business Loop through Nephi, ending at an intersection with I-15 north of the town.

[edit] History

SR-28 was commissioned in 1925, running from Gunnison to Levan. In 1968, it was extended north to I-15 near Nephi. In 1969, it was extended south to I-70 on the Sanpete-Sevier county line, near Salina, along a former section of SR-11. In 1977, the southern terminus was truncated to US-89 in Gunnison. In 2006, SR-28 was consolidated with the former SR-41, extending the northern terminus to I-15 north of Nephi.^[2]
