By favoring these routes Utah could force travelers destined for southern California to use a different route than those destined for northern California, with both of these traversing through more cities in Utah than the Lincoln Highway. The Arrowhead trail was especially beneficial to Utah as it passed through many communities in the state, but only 2173: 1356: 1169: 1126: 1113: 1022: 983: 580:. One specific feat, the excavation through a portion called Spotted Wolf Canyon, required excavating 3,500,000 cubic yards (2,700,000 m) of rock to have a bed for just 8 miles (13 km) of roadway. Construction workers noted that prior to the construction of the freeway a man could stand in this canyon and touch both sides of the canyon wall. 2004: 1951: 1848: 1646: 1633: 1416: 1199: 424: 409: 2068: 1899: 222: 205: 2981: 2309: 1525: 1452: 940: 248: 183: 109: 2296: 2283: 1886: 1512: 1375: 1313: 1258: 1217: 1077: 927: 243: 238: 200: 178: 165: 152: 139: 104: 806:. In eastern Utah the route used the existing alignment of US-50. However, in western Utah the route used an unpaved road through Delta reconnecting with US-50 in Ely. In 1953, US-50 was approved to use this shorter alignment with the older US-50 alignment designated as 757:
Utah prevailed and US-50 did not continue to follow the Lincoln Highway to Salt Lake City as Nevada had wanted. The first continuous route of US-50 across eastern Nevada and western Utah was an arch shaped route. US-50 proceeded north from Ely along what is now numbered
510:, a span of roadway that is about 100 miles (160 km). While passing through the Great Basin the highway crosses two mountain ranges, the Confusion Range via King's Canyon, and House Range via Skull Rock Pass, before arriving at the shore of 478:. The route between these cities has become progressively shorter as new roads have been paved through this largely uninhabited region of both states. The earlier routings were a result of a dispute between Utah and Nevada over which 678: 666: 351: 387: 841:. While I-70 was in the planning stage Colorado lobbied for an extension of the original proposal to run across Colorado and into Utah. Utah supported an extension using then US-6/50 to connect 630: 2617: 849:. I-70 was built using the federally selected route. In 1976, US-50 was changed again to a routing mostly concurrent with I-70. The portion of modern US-50 between Delta and 734:. Officials perceived that route would carry all California bound traffic directly to Nevada while passing through very few communities in Utah. Utah instead favored the 514:, an intermittent lake fed by snow melt from many mountain ranges in the eastern half of the Great Basin. The highway follows the north shore of Sevier Lake and the 3038: 2713: 2613: 642: 3043: 3053: 3048: 611:. The name of the byway comes from the large number of areas along the route with visible dinosaur remains. The entire route through the state, as well as the 522:. Today much of the water in the Sevier river is diverted for agricultural use before reaching the lake, and rarely is significant water visible in the lake. 2800: 2742: 2954: 2524: 2008: 1955: 845:
with Salt Lake City. However, federal planners did not see value in this route and instead supported a route that could be used to connect Denver with

Summit. After passing the mountains, US-50 then separates from this freeway as again a two lane road passing through desolate territory towards
810:. Nevada first showed this alignment as paved and signed as US 50 in their 1954 map. With this change, US-6/50 ran concurrent from Ely to 1529: 1456: 502:, there are multiple stretches without any motorist services. There are no services between the state line and the small farming village of 338: 654: 604: 829:, which reduced the number of mountain ranges crossed. Although US-50 was moved to yet another alignment, this route remains US-6 today. 2657: 370: 2910: 2832: 2484: 2442: 2421: 2400: 451:
