southbound I-15 at US-89 / Beck St, 1975
Sign gantry from 1960, and maybe even signs from then. This stretch of freeway was the first section of Interstate to open in the state (from 400 North in Bountiful to 1000 North in Salt Lake). Notice how US-91 shields have been purged already from the BGS for Beck Street. It's a sad day.
This photo is from one of 145 boxes I've been perusing at the State Archives in downtown. These photos come from the Utah Department of Transportation, and were taken mostly by Cal Briggs or Gerald E. Peterson. The photos are sorted by year (with the exception of the first several boxes), and span from 1965 to 1997. Most are black-and-white negatives, though one can find prints here and there, as well as color slides.
I have to hand it to the staff over there—without them, none of these photos would be on Flickr and they'd be sitting in some box for ages. My sincerest thanks goes out to them.
