Utah State Route 222

The route begins in the Heber Valley - part of the Wasatch Back - at the intersection of Main Street and Center Street in the city of Midway After two blocks, the route turns north on 200 West Street and turns west again two blocks later onto 200 North street. The remainder of the road, which is closed in the winter and not designated as part of the state route, continues north to meet with other roads that provide access to Park City in Summit County via SR-224 to the north over Empire Pass, and Brighton in Salt Lake County via SR-190 to the west via Guardsman Pass. ==History==

The southern portion of SR-222 was initially designated as Utah State Route 224 in 1941, running from SR-113 in Midway north to Schneitter's Hot Pots, now the Homestead Resort. In 1953, the route was extended north to the boundary of Wasatch Mountain State Park. This extent of SR-224 is what now comprises SR-222. Incidentally, SR-224 was extended again in 1963 farther north over Empire Pass to Park City, and yet again in 1969 north all the way to I-80 at Kimball Junction. In 1990, the state and Wasatch County executed a trade, wherein SR-32 around the south side of the Jordanelle Reservoir was restored to the state highway system (it had carried U.S. 189 until the reservoir forced its relocation), and portions of SR-190, SR-220, and SR-224 became county roads. In particular, SR-224 was removed from the state highway system between the Pine Creek Campground (near the state park boundary) and the Wasatch/Summit county line. The unconnected southern portion between SR-113 and the campground, however, remained part of SR-224 until 2004, when it was redesignated as SR-222 to eliminate confusion. ==Major intersections==
