There are five business routes ofInterstate 8 (I-8).
The portions of the I-8 business routes through California are mostly unsigned. All Interstate business routes in California are assigned by theCalifornia Department of Transportation (Caltrans), but are not maintained by Caltrans unless they overlay other routes of the state highway system. Local authorities may request route assignment from the Caltrans Transportation System Information Program, and all requests require approval of the executive committee of theAmerican Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO).[1]

| Location | El Centro, California |
| Length | 4.25 mi[3] (6.84 km) |
Business Loop Interstate 8 (I-8 Bus.) is abusiness loop route that diverges fromI-8 inEl Centro, California, to pass through the downtown area. I-8 Bus. originates and terminates with I-8 and acts as a direct link to El Centro as I-8 bypasses the downtown area.
The I-8 Bus. path through El Centro traces roughly three sides of a rectangle with I-8 constituting the fourth side. I-8 Bus. begins at its western terminus with I-8 by going north along Imperial Avenue. When I-8 Bus. reaches the intersection of Adams Avenue it turns east along that road. Along this stretch, I-8 Bus. is joined byState Route 86 (SR 86) which approaches from the north along Imperial Avenue, and byImperial County Route S80 which approaches from the west along Adams Avenue. The three routes continue joined as Adams Avenue ends and turns south along Fourth Avenue where S80 then turns to continue east. I-8 Bus. and SR 86 continue south running concurrent until I-8 Bus. reaches its eastern terminus with I-8.[3]
Only the portion of I-8 Bus. that runs concurrently with SR 86 is maintained by the state.[4] Along its concurrency with SR 86, I-8 Bus. is designated as part of the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail.[5]

|---|---|
| Location | Winterhaven, California –Yuma, Arizona |
| Length | 14.84 mi[6][7]: 531 (23.88 km) |
| Existed | 1966–present |
Business Loop 8 (I-8 Bus. orI-8 BL) begins at an interchange with I-8 and Winterhaven Drive inWinterhaven, California. The loop continues east, paralleling I-8 to the north and running concurrently withCR S24. I-8 Bus. then goes through downtown Winterhaven before CR S24 continues east and I-8 Bus. continues south, crossing I-8 again as well as theColorado River intoYuma, Arizona. Passing to the west ofYuma Quartermaster Depot State Historic Park, I-8 BL goes through downtown Yuma as Fourth Avenue, intersectingUS 95 after several blocks. The business loop curves to the east as 32nd Street, passing along the north side ofYuma International Airport and the south side of the Yuma Conservation Garden. East of the airport, I-8 BL passes through less-developed areas of eastern Yuma before ending at I-8.[6]
It is one of very few Interstate business loops that is interstate in the sense of crossing a state line. The Arizona segment of the business loop is also a section ofHistoric US 80.[9]
The segment in Winterhaven between the California–Arizona state line and I-8 was never relinquished to local control after the decommissioning of US 80 and remains a California state highway. It carries the unsigned designation ofRoute 8U (for "unrelinquished").[10]
