History
The state legislature created SR-108 in 1931, running west from
SR-1 (now
SR-126) to
Syracuse. A 1941 law extended it east from SR-1 to
SR-232 in
Layton and north from Syracuse to
SR-37.
As part of a 1969 truncation of SR-37, SR-108 was extended northeast over part of that route to
SR-84 (now SR-126). The final change was made in 1996, when the piece between SR-232 and
I-15 was given to the city of Layton for widening.
