State Route 209 (SR-209) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Utah, following 9000 South and other east–west streets south of Salt Lake City. It connects I-15 in Sandy with the ski areas of Little Cottonwood Canyon, and, once an extension is complete, with the Bingham Canyon Mine.
9000 South begins at 5600 West in West Jordan, and heads downhill within the Salt Lake Valley as it runs east. It crosses the Savage Bingham and Garfield Railroad line to the Bingham Canyon Mine (ex-D&RGW) at Welby, and state maintenance begins as SR-209 when 9000 South crosses SR-68. After crossing the Jordan River, SR-209 begins climbing through the eastern part of the valley, passing through Sandy, and curving into 9400 South after crossing SR-71. The route ends at SR-210 near the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon, where the valley gives way to the Wasatch Range.
