Utah State Route 154

State Route 154 (SR-154) or Bangerter Highway (named after former Utah Governor Norman H. Bangerter) is an expressway running west and then north from Draper through western Salt Lake County, eventually reaching the Salt Lake City International Airport in Salt Lake City. Construction began in 1988 after planning for the highway began more than two decades prior. For the next ten years, portions of the highway opened as constructed, with the entire route finished by 1998.

Original plans for the six-lane expressway running through the western suburbs of Salt Lake City placed Bangerter Highway running further north past the Salt Lake City International Airport into Davis County. However, any route north of the airport never reached fruition, whereas the original southerly end of the route was extended from Redwood Road to I-15.

Route description

State Route 154 (Bangerter Highway) begins just southeast of a single-point urban interchange at I-15 at the intersection of 13800 South in the Salt Lake City suburb of Draper. The three-lane road curves from the north to the west and widens to four lanes before accessing the I-15 interchange. Past the freeway exit, SR-154 expands to three lanes in each direction with a median barrier in the center. With the exception of two variations in the course of the road prior to an intersection at Redwood Road (SR-68), the highway heads relatively due west (there is a dip to the south for about a mile as the roadway crosses the Jordan River). Throughout its whole route, with four exceptions (I-15, SR-48, SR-201, and I-80), SR-154 intersects only major cross streets at grade-level intersections. The route runs into the boundary of Bluffdale and Riverton before definitively entering Riverton boundaries when the highway makes a northerly curve.

Utah

Utah (/ˈjuːtɔː/ or ⁱ/ˈjuːtɑː/; Navajo: Áshįįh bi Tó Hahoodzo; Arapaho: Wo'tééneihí ) is a state in the western United States. It became the 45th state admitted to the Union on January 4, 1896. Utah is the 13th-largest, the 31st-most populous, and the 10th-least-densely populated of the 50 United States. Utah has a population of nearly 3 million (Census estimate for July 1, 2015), approximately 80% of whom live along the Wasatch Front, centering on Salt Lake City. Utah is bordered by Colorado to the east, Wyoming to the northeast, Idaho to the north, Arizona to the south, and Nevada to the west. It also touches a corner of New Mexico in the southeast.

Approximately 62% of Utahns are reported to be members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or LDS (Mormons), which greatly influences Utah culture and daily life. The world headquarters of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) is located in Utah's state capital, Salt Lake City. Utah is the most religiously homogeneous state in the United States, the only state with a Mormon majority, and the only state with a majority population belonging to a single church.

New Jersey Route 154

Route 154 is a 1.70 miles (2.74 km) long state highway in Cherry Hill Township, Camden County, New Jersey. The route begins at an intersection with County Route 561 in Cherry Hill, heading northward to the site of the former Ellisburg Circle, where Route 154 reaches its northern terminus at New Jersey Route 41 (Kings Highway) and New Jersey Route 70. The route ends concurrent with Route 41 for the short distance from the junction between the two routes. Brace Road is the local name for Route 154 for its entire length.

Route 154 is an original portion of State Highway Route 41, defined in the 1927 renumbering. The route remained intact for several decades, until the construction of a bypass around Haddonfield. By the time of the 1953 renumbering on January 1, 1953, Route 41 was realigned onto a county-maintained roadway, signed as Temporary 41, while the former alignment went unnumbered. During the 1960s, the old alignment was designated as Route 154, but was unsigned for many years. From 1984 to 1992, the New Jersey Department of Transportation removed the Ellisburg Circle, built in 1938 at Route 154's northern terminus.

Oregon Route 154

Oregon Route 154 is an Oregon state highway running from OR 233 near Dayton to OR 153 near Hopewell. OR 154 is composed of most of the Lafayette Highway No. 154 (see Oregon highways and routes). It is 5.74 miles (9.24 km) long and runs north–south, entirely within Yamhill County.

OR 154 was established in 2002 as part of Oregon's project to assign route numbers to highways that previously were not assigned, and, as of November 2009, was unsigned.

Despite the name, the Lafayette Highway does not actually reach Lafayette. However, a Yamhill County maintained "Lafayette Highway" continues past OR 18 to enter the city of Lafayette. Also, Yamhill County signs the portion of Oregon Route 153 east of the junction with OR 154 as "Lafayette Highway," as well.

Route description

OR 154 begins at an intersection with OR 18 approximately one mile southwest of Dayton, several miles south of Lafayette. It heads south to an intersection with OR 153 near Hopewell, where it ends.

History

Missouri Route 154

Route 154 is a highway in northeastern Missouri. Its eastern terminus is at U.S. Route 54 north of Vandalia; its western terminus is at U.S. Route 24) west of Paris, where Business US 24 also has its western terminus. Route 154 passes through Mark Twain State Park and over Mark Twain Lake.

Route 154 between Paris and Perry was part of Route 54, which continued east to New London, until 1926 or 1927, when it was renumbered Route 26 because of US 54. The part east of Perry became an extension of Route 19 in about 1930, and the rest was renumbered Route 154 by 1946.

New York State Route 154

New York State Route 154 (NY 154) was a state highway in Rensselaer County, New York, in the United States. It began at an intersection with U.S. Route 4 (US 4) in the city of Troy and ended at then-County Route 77 (CR 77, now NY 351) in the hamlet of Poestenkill. Along the way, it intersected NY 66 and NY 355. The route was assigned in the early 1930s and eliminated in 1980 as part of a highway maintenance swap between the state of New York and Rensselaer County. The portion of the highway between the Troy city line and NY 355 became County Route 130 while the part connecting NY 355 to Poestenkill became an extension of NY 355.

Route description

NY 154 began at the intersection of US 4 (Vandenburgh Avenue) and Campbell Avenue in southern Troy. The route headed to the northeast, running alongside Wynants Kill as it followed Campbell Avenue through the residential southern portion of Troy. The route and the river crossed paths after 0.75 miles (1.21 km), with Wynants Kill proceeding southeastward toward the hamlet of Wynantskill and NY 154 continuing northeastward to a junction with Spring Avenue, a street linking NY 154 to the downtown district. Campbell Avenue ended here; however, the route continued on, following Spring Avenue east for three blocks to an intersection with NY 66 (Pawling Avenue) just south of the Emma Willard School.
