Route description

The route's western terminus is in Hooper at the intersection of SR-37 (5900 West) and 5500 South. From here it travels east as 5500 South towards Roy. After approximately 2.6 miles (4.2 km), just west of SR-108 (3500 West), the route shifts to the south by one block, becoming 5600 South. It continues to the east through Roy, through an interchange with I-15, and ends just east of the interstate at the Hill Air Force Base northwest gate.

History

State Route 97 was originally created in 1965 as a short (0.25 miles (0.40 km)) major access road between SR-106/US-91 (now I-15) and Hill Air Force Base. In 1969, it was extended westward 2 miles (3.2 km) along 5600 South to SR-108 (3500 West).

From 1969 to 2000, State Route 98 ran on 5500 South from SR-37 (5900 West) in Hooper to SR-108. This put its eastern terminus just one block north of the western terminus of SR-97. By 2000, a construction project was completed that connected the two roads at a common intersection by shifting the east end of SR-98 south by a block. In response, the state legislature consolidated the two routes by deleting SR-98 and transferring it to SR-97, resulting in the current alignment.

Major intersections

The entire route is in Weber County.
