State Route 271 is a highway within Iron County in southwestern Utah that connects the communities of Parowan and Paragonah. The route runs six miles.
Route description
From its southern terminus at the junction of SR-274, SR-271 runs northwest, bordering the southeast side of the Parowan Airport. It turns north once it reaches 200 South in Paragonah. It continues in this direction until ending at I-15.
History
The road from Parowan northeast through Paragonah and southwest through Summit was added to the state highway system in 1910,[2] and in the 1920s it became part of SR-1 and US-91.[3] In 1968, with the construction of I-15 in the area imminent, SR-1 was moved to the proposed bypass, and the old route of SR-1 became State Route 38 (I-15 near Summit to Center Street in Parowan), SR-143 (Center Street to near 500 North in Parowan, and then continuing to I-15), and State Route 76 (near 500 North in Parowan to I-15 near Paragonah). However, the state legislature did not concur with the latter, and the old road through Paragonah was maintained only until I-15 was completed.[4] Construction of I-15 was finished by 1975, and included a second Parowan interchange that had not been in the 1968 plans. SR-143 was rerouted to turn south on SR-38 (old SR-1) in Parowan and west on 200 South to the new interchange, and the remainder of SR-38 was removed from the state highway system. (The 1968 extension of SR-143 was redesignated SR-274.)[5] The road from Parowan through Paragonah to I-15 was restored to the state highway system in 1978 as SR-271.[6]
