The route follows a local road called Mormon Emigrant Trail from Sly Park up a ridge to eventually connect with California State Route 88 over Carson Pass, using a small portion of California State Route 89 over Luther Pass to reconnect with US 50 near South Lake Tahoe.
The former route followed present-day portions of Sly Park Road, Mormon Emigrant Trail in its entirety, and portions of SR 88 and SR 89.
It was in use when from 2009 to 2018 when Interstate 580 was partially built and terminated at the Fairview Drive exit.

was a 292-mile (470 km) alternate route of US 50 in Nevada and Utah.
It existed from the 1953 to the 1976 and followed the original routing of US 50 from Ely, Nevada to Moark Junction, Utah (roughly 11 miles [18 km] south-southeast of Provo in what is what is now the east edge of Spanish Fork), via Salt Lake City.

was a 17.1-mile (27.5 km) temporary route of US 50 in Utah, departing the alignment of what is now U.S. Route 6 (UT 6) at the site of the former community of Kyune (roughly 3.7 miles [6.0 km] southeast of Colton) along what is now called Emma Park Road and returning to US 6 in southern Castle Gate via what is now U.S. Route 191 (US 191).
The first road built between Helper and Soldier Summit exited the Price River Canyon along modern US 191 near Castle Gate and returned to the current alignment of UT 6 via Emma Park Road to bypass a narrow, meandering portion of the canyon.
Once announced this road would be used for the Midland Trail (precursor to US 6) a shorter, more direct route was proposed that remained in Price Canyon for the entire ascent.
The road is occasionally as a detour when US 6 through Price Canyon is closed.
