History

In conjunction with the construction of the Jordanelle Reservoir in the late 1980s, a new state park was proposed on its western shore, with an access road connecting it to the new alignment of US-40/189. UDOT recommended this connection be added to the state highway system. Since the purpose of the new route would be to serve a state park, it was given a number in the 281-320 range.
On November 3, 1989, the Utah Transportation Commission approved the designation, which initially extended from US-40/189 east to the proposed boat ramp, a distance of ; however, the eastern had not been constructed at the time. The route was slightly modified in 2001, when the legislature moved the east end to the state park fee station.
