United States Highway 91 - Definition

United States Highway 91 is a north-south United States highway. A long-haul route until the mid-1970s, it has now been largely decommissioned in favor of Interstate 15 -- in fact, half of its remaining 120 mile (193 km) length is within a few miles of the Interstate.

Termini

As of 2004, the highway's northern terminus is in Idaho Falls, Idaho at an intersection with U.S. Highway 26 (and Business Interstate 15). Its southern terminus is in Brigham City, Utah at an intersection with Interstate 15, after spending 10 miles multiplexed with U.S. Highway 89.

Historic termini

At its peak, from 1947 to 1965, US 91 extended from the Canadian border north of Shelby, Montana to the Pacific Ocean at Redondo Beach, California.
