Route description

The highway begins at the intersection of SR-154 (Bangerter Highway) and West 10400 South in South Jordan. Heading east on the latter, a four-lane road, the road shifts slightly to the north immediately past the intersection. At South 3200 West the road loses one lane in each direction. The route continues east and intersects with several local roads before reaching SR-68 (Redwood Road), where the route widens to four lanes again. Past South 1300 West, the highway begins to dip southeast and gains a fixed center median. After passing Mulligan's South

History

State Route 151 was formed in 1987 as a link between SR-68 and I-15. The state would build a road in between South 1300 West and South 1000 West that would connect West 10400 South and West 10600 South. In 1992, Sandy requested the state to assume jurisdiction of West 10600 South from I-15 eastward to SR-71. The

In 2001, another stretch of proposed roadway was added to the state highway system, from SR-68 (Redwood Road) west to SR-154 (Bangerter Highway). here: The Route is included in American Truck Simulator's Utah DLC.
