State Route 132 (SR-132) is a 63.132-mile-long (101.601 km)state highway in the U.S. state ofUtah. It connectsU.S. Route 6 (US-6) inLynndyl toUS-89 atPigeon Hollow Junction, crossingInterstate 15 (I-15) inNephi.
The route starts inMillard County atUS-6 inLynndyl, north ofDelta and south ofLittle Sahara Recreation Area, and travels east throughLeamington before turning northeast and enteringJuab County. The route continues northeast, crossing theSevier River, gradually turning east before enteringNephi and crossingI-15. Leaving Nephi, the route entersSalt Creek Canyon, where it intersects theNebo Loop Scenic Byway, before turning southeast, enteringSanpete County. From here, the route turns south-southeast, passing throughFountain Green andMoroni, after which the route turns south throughChester before ending at the intersection withUS-89. The stretch of the route from Nephi to the US-89 junction is also used as the primary route connectingSnow College inEphraim as well asManti to theWasatch Front.
The route was formally established in 1933 with the purpose of connecting Nephi toUS-50, which is nowUS-6. In 1945, the route was swapped withSR-148, forming the present route west of Nephi. In 1969, the route was extended east to Pigeon Hollow Junction along a roadway that had been signed asU.S. Route 189 in the 1930s.
The road fromUS-91 (nowSR-28) inNephi to and beyondPigeon Hollow Junction was added to the state highway system in 1910,[2] and became part ofState Route 11 in the 1920s.[3] As the part south of Pigeon Hollow Junction was (and still is) marked asUS-89, the Nephi-Pigeon Hollow Junction connection was marked as a branch, US-189, from about 1930[4] until 1938 (when a newUS-189 was created).[5]
West of Nephi, State Route 132 was formed in 1933 to connect Nephi toUS-50 (nowUS-6) nearJericho.[6]State Route 148 was also formed at that time, connecting US-50 inLynndyl toLeamington,[7] and two years later it was extended to meet SR-132 west of Nephi.[8] SR-132 and SR-148 were swapped in 1945, giving SR-132 its current route west of Nephi.[9] SR-148 wasremoved from the state highway system in 1969,[10] and at the same time, SR-132 was extended east to Pigeon Hollow Junction, replacing part of SR-11.[11] (The next piece to the south became part ofSR-32.)
