The Utah State Route 128 (short UT 128 ) is a 71 kilometer long state route in the US state of Utah . It starts near Moab on US Highway 191 and ends at Cisco on Interstate 70 . It follows the Colorado River and leads through a narrow, winding road with high red sandstone rock walls. Many western films have been shot in the area. It is called River Street by the locals .
On April 6, 2008, the Dewey Bridge was destroyed by fire. The 153 meter long and 3.1 meter wide bridge spanned the Colorado River and was built in 1916. It was then the second longest suspension bridge in the United States west of the Mississippi .
