at exit 6 with US-91 at St. George Boulevard and Bluff Street. In 1974, after I-15 was completed, SR-18 (which had been extended over old US-91 to SR-34 in 1969) was extended south to replace the original portion of SR-34, leaving the latter route on only St. George Boulevard. SR-34 was extended slightly east to River Road in 1991, since exit 8 on I-15 was converted from a trumpet to a diamond interchange. In the mid 2000s, St.George Boulevard had undergone major reconstruction with new pavement, updated traffic signals, waterlines and landscaped medians installed from Bluff Street to 1000 East. In 2013, the diamond interchange was completely reconstructed into a diverging diamond interchange to ease congestion in the I-15 interchange/1000 East/River Road area, and was the first interchange of its kind in southern Utah.
