History
State Route 120 was established in 1969 as a road looping around I-70 in Richfield. The route was initially composed of three portions: a proposed road from the under-construction interchange at I-70 in southeast Richfield to Main Street, the existent portion of Main Street north to 300 North, and another proposed road connecting this point to the north Richfield interchange. The proposed roads were completed in 1990. No realignments have affected the route since then.
