State Route 152 (SR-152) is a state highway in the suburbs of Salt Lake City, Utah connecting SR-71 in Murray to I-215 and city-maintained Highland Drive in Cottonwood Heights, though for almost all of its length it forms the border between Murray and Holladay. The route, which is 3.04 miles (4.89 km), is laid on the entire length of the Van Winkle Expressway and a portion of Highland Drive.
The route was initially created in 1933, then following Highland Drive from 2700 South southeast to 6200 South, turning east on that street to Knudsen's Corner, then entering Big Cottonwood Canyon. A series of truncations and realignments brought the route south to I-215 (south of 6200 South) and north to SR-71.
SR-152 begins at the four-way intersection of Van Winkle Expressway and 900 East just south of Big Cottonwood Creek (SR-71 turns west from 900 East onto Van Winkle Expressway, which defaults onto 700 East). Immediately to the east, there is an unsignalized three-way intersection (at which SR-152 traffic does not stop) with Murray-Holladay road (former SR-174), which heads straight east (SR-71 intersects the western portion of former SR-174 just west of SR-152's starting point). From there, SR-152 heads southeast as a four-lane divided highway with limited at-grade access through an undeveloped, low-lying, and wooded strip of land. For a short distance in this area, the road forms the border between Murray and Millcreek Township, but south of that, SR-152 is always the border between Murray and Holladay. Past an intersection at the terminus of former SR-181 (1300 East), the route dips south-southeast to intersect with 5600 South near Cottonwood High School and a small commercial area. The route once again veers to the southeast before crossing the Jordan and Salt Lake Canal in a low-density residential area (including horse properties). Upon reaching the intersection with Vine Street (former SR-173) and 6100 South (a very short street connecting to the northern section of Highland Drive), the Van Winkle Expressway enters a commercial area and soon turns into (the southern section of) Highland Drive; a short one-way segment of Highland Drive provides an alternate route between the (much wider) northern and southern segments of that street for northbound vehicles. South of the 6100 South intersection, SR-152 has six lanes and sidewalks and loses its wide unpaved median in favor of a center turn lane. The route terminates seven-tenths of a mile later at an interchange with I-215.
