State Route 288 (SR-288) was a state highway in the U.S. state of Utah. From 1969 to 2007, it served the campus of Utah State University.
Route description[edit]
The final alignment of SR-288 began at US-89 in eastern Logan and ran north on 1200 East, serving the eastern side of the Utah State University campus. It then turned west on 1000 North, forming the eastern and northern boundaries of the Logan Cemetery and serving much of the university's student housing areas. It passed just south of Romney Stadium (now known as Maverik Stadium) before coming to its northern terminus at 800 East (then SR-237).[3]
History[edit]
The roadways on the Utah State University campus were first added to the state system in 1935 as SR-188. However, the exact routing was not defined until 1953, when SR-188 was defined to consist of three segments: 660 North from 900 to 1100 East, 550 North from 950 to 1100 East, and 1100 East from US-89 to 700 North. In 1963, the route was further defined as four separate sub-sections: 188-1, which began at 800 East and ran east on 600 North and north on 900 East to 700 South; 188-2, which consisted of 675 North from 900 East to 1100 East; 188-3, which went south from 675 North on 950 East, then east on 550 North; and 188-4, which ran along 1100 East from US-89 to 700 North.
In 1965, a peripheral road running around the southern side of the university campus had been built, and it was added to subsection 188-1. That section now continued south along 800 East and east on the peripheral road to 950 East, where it turned north to 550 North and ran east to 1100 East. This absorbed subsection 188-3, which was redefined on a short connector road between the peripheral road and US-89 along 900 East. The segment of 188-1 along 550 North was realigned to an extension of the peripheral road in 1967.
The Utah State Legislature set aside the route numbers above 280 for routes serving state parks and institutions. Since SR-188 served a state university, it was renumbered to SR-288 at this time.
In 1971, at the University's request, the Utah Transportation Commission passed a resolution deleting the portions of SR-288 along 600 North, 900 East, and 650 North. However, the section on 800 East was extended north to 1000 North, east to 1200 North, and south to US-89. The commission also added 700 North from 1100 East to 1200 East to SR-288 to complete the peripheral route, but the city of Logan had not intended to give up this segment as it had significant utilities under that street. As a result, another resolution was soon signed returning that segment to Logan.
