State Route 160 (SR-160) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Utah providing a business loop around I-15 for the town of Beaver in the south-central portion of the state. The route is the main street for the town and spans 3.8 miles (6.1 km). The highway was established 1961 as I-15 was constructed through the area, replacing US-91.
The highway begins at a diamond interchange on I-15 heading east and quickly turns north into Main Street. It continues in a northerly direction through the center of the town of Beaver for about 3 miles (4.8 km). In the main part of town, it intersects with SR-21 to the west and SR-153 to the east. After leaving town to the north, the route turns back to the west and ends at another diamond interchange with I-15.
The current incarnation of State Route 160 was created in 1961 while I-15 was under construction in the area. It consisted of just 0.4 miles (0.64 km) of road from the I-15 interchange about 1.3 miles (2.1 km) south of Beaver northwest to US-91 (SR-1), which ran through the center of town as Main Street. At the same time, State Route 161 was also created, serving a similar purpose, but on the interchange 1 mile (1.6 km) north of Beaver.
