===Utah=== {{main|Interstate 80 in Utah}} After crossing [[Utah]]'s western border in [[Wendover, Utah|Wendover]], I-80 crosses the desolate [[Bonneville Salt Flats]] west of the [[Great Salt Lake]]. The longest stretch between exits on an Interstate Highway is located between Wendover and [[Knolls, Utah|Knolls]], with {{convert|37.4|mi|km}} between those exits.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Carey|first1=Anne|title=Top 16 longest gaps between Interstate exits|url=http://content.usatoday.com/communities/driveon/post/2011/08/longest-distances-between-exits-on-US-freeways-415029/1|access-date=January 17, 2017|work=[[USA Today]]|date=August 15, 2011|archive-date=June 30, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170630190754/http://content.usatoday.com/communities/driveon/post/2011/08/longest-distances-between-exits-on-US-freeways-415029/1|url-status=live}}</ref> This portion of I-80, crossing the [[Great Salt Lake Desert]], is extremely flat and straight, dotted with large warning signs about [[driver fatigue]] and drowsiness. East of the salt flats, I-80 passes the southern edge of Great Salt Lake and continues on through [[Salt Lake City]], where it merges with [[Interstate 15|I-15]] for {{convert|3|mi|km|0|spell=in}} before entering the [[Wasatch Range]] east of the city. It ascends [[Parleys Canyon]] and passes within a few miles of [[Park City, Utah|Park City]] as it follows a route through the mountains toward the junction with the eastern terminus of the western section of [[Interstate 84 (Oregon–Utah)|I-84]]. From the junction it continues up Echo Canyon and on toward the border with [[Wyoming]], near [[Evanston, Wyoming|Evanston]]. The route of the Utah section of I-80 is defined in Utah Code Annotated § 72-4-113(10).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://le.utah.gov/code/TITLE72/htm/72_04_011300.htm |author=Utah State Legislature |title=§ 72-4-113(10) |work=Utah Code Annotated |access-date=January 29, 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140227042610/http://le.utah.gov/code/TITLE72/htm/72_04_011300.htm |archive-date=February 27, 2014 |df=mdy }}</ref>
