State Route 989, also known as SR 989, was an unmarked state highway in Oro Valley, Arizona, that consisted of a 2-mile (3 km) stretch of Tangerine Road west of State Route 77.
Route description
The route was established in 1991.[2] It was the highest numbered route in the Arizona state highway system. The number 989 was initially assigned as part of a proposed highway network for the Tucson area (in this case, the Tangerine Highway) that was never implemented.[3][4]
History
The route was originally conceived in 1988, to connect SR 77 (then-signed as US 89) in Oro Valley to SR 86 west of Tucson.[5] It was proposed as an urban freeway to serve Tucson.[4] The road was established as a state highway on its current routing through Oro Valley on September 20, 1991.[2] Following its establishment, the road was not otherwise adjusted and remained on its original routing.[6] On September 20, 2019, the section of Tangerine Road maintained by ADOT was transferred to the town of Oro Valley, and SR 989 was decommissioned.[7]
Major intersections
The highway from milepost 0.00-33.96 was proposed but never implemented as part of the route.[8] The entire route was in Oro Valley, Pima County.
