Utah State Route 123 (SR-123) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Utah. Spanning 11.4 miles (18.3 km), it connects the city of East Carbon-Sunnyside with US-6 / US-191 in Carbon County.

Route description

State Route 123 begins at Sunnyside Junction on US-6/US-191, about 15 miles (24 km) southeast of Price.[3] It heads east, passing through East Carbon-Sunnyside at the base of the Book Cliffs. It turns to the northeast and terminates shortly after it enters Whitmore Canyon.[3]

History

The road from Sunnyside Junction through Sunnyside to Columbia (now all part of East Carbon-Sunnyside) was added to the state highway system in 1931, initially numbered SR-124[4] but changed to SR-123 in 1933.[5] The route was shortened in 1935 by moving the eastern terminus back into Sunnyside,[6] and splitting off the portion from Sunnyside to Columbia as SR-124.[7]
