State Route 174 (SR-174) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Utah. Spanning 8.1 miles (13.0 km) in rural Millard County, it connects the Intermountain Power Plant with U.S. Route 6 south of Lynndyl.

Route description

Starting at the main gate of the Intermountain Power Plant in rural Millard County, State Route 174 travels straight in a west-southwest direction for about 8 miles (13 km) along Brush Wellman Road through the Sevier Desert before ending at its intersection with U.S. Route 6.[1][3]
