1937 A new alignment around Tremonton and
Garland was defined in 1935, with the old route becoming State Route 82.
The southern half-mile of the route was originally located three blocks to the west of the modern route, along Tremont Street, going north to 600 North, then east to 300 East. In 1955, the segment of 300 East between Main Street and 600 North was added to the state highway system as State Route 82A. SR-82A was decommissioned in 1964, but SR-82 was rerouted to what had been SR-82A for safety and economic reasons; the original route on Tremont Street and 600 North was transferred to local jurisdiction at that time.
On May 20, 1977, State Route 82 was renumbered as State Route 126. This was because the legislature
redesignated SR-82 as the legislative designation for what was then
I-80N. This renumbering was only temporary, however, as on August 26 that same year, I-80N was renumbered to what is now
I-84
Interstate 84 may refer to:
* Interstate 84 (Oregon–Utah), passing through Idaho, formerly known as Interstate 80N

, releasing SR-82 back to its original route. At the same time, SR-84 was designated as I-84, and the
former SR-84 was renumbered to the newly vacated
SR-126.
