State Route 257 is a highway in central Utah that runs from the junction of SR-21 in Milford to US-6/US-50 sixty-nine miles (111 kilometers) to the north in Hinckley. There are no junctions with any other state highways along SR-257.
The northernmost piece of SR-257 became a state highway in 1933 as part of State Route 140, a short connection from SR-27 (now US-6) near Hinckley south to Deseret and east via Oasis to SR-26 (now US-50) at Harding.[2] The remainder was not created until 1955, when the state legislature added the road between SR-21 in Milford and SR-140 at Deseret to the state highway system as SR-257.[3] A short loop through downtown Hinckley, heading west from SR-140 on 2500 South and north on Main Street to SR-27, was added as State Route 240 in 1966 but dropped from the state highway system in 1969.[4] With the deletion of SR-140 in 1969, SR-257 assumed its current extent, replacing the north–south piece of SR-140.[5]
