History

State Route 225 was established in 1964, initially going from US-89 east on Burke Lane (which today is Park Lane) to SR-106. In 1967, the western terminus was moved to I-15 when the freeway was constructed through the area. In 2005, the route was extended southwest to Clark Lane. However, in 2011, the western terminus was truncated back to the bridge over the railroad tracks; the part west of there was given to the city of Farmington.
