It is a short connector road, only 3.178 miles (5.114 km) long, that connects the towns of Tremonton and Garland in Box Elder County.

State Route 82 starts at SR-102 (Main Street) in Tremonton and travels north as 300 East.

From here the route continues east for 0.73 miles (1.17 km) out of Garland, then turns north onto 5400 West for less than half a mile before ending at its intersection with SR-13.

[2] The southern half-mile of the route was originally located three blocks to the west of the modern route, along Tremont Street, going north to 600 North, then east to 300 East.

SR-82A was decommissioned in 1964, but SR-82 was rerouted to what had been SR-82A for safety and economic reasons; the original route on Tremont Street and 600 North was transferred to local jurisdiction at that time.
