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]
Interstate 80 Business (I-80 Bus.), called theCapital City Freeway in its entirety, is abusiness loop ofI-80 throughSacramento. Unlike mostbusiness routes in California, it is state-maintained and assigned route numbers in the state highway system—part ofUS Route 50 (US 50) on its western half (5.64 miles [9.08 km]) and unsignedState Route 51 (SR 51) on its eastern half (8.86 miles [14.26 km]). The full road is afreeway and carried I-80 until 1981, when the signage and designation of I-80 was transferred to the Beltline Freeway, previously signed asI-880. At that time,AASHTO assigned theI-305 designation to the west half, which metInterstate Highway standards. However,Caltrans has never signed this number, put it on any road signs, or used it internally. (Note: TheFederal Highway Administration (FHWA) lists unsigned I-305 as six miles (9.7 km),[2] increased from 5.3 miles (8.5 km) in 1999.[citation needed])
Interstate 80 Business (I-80 Bus.) was abusiness loop inTruckee. It served as a loop around Truckee nearI-80 and traversed through Donner Pass Road. All signs and references to the business loop were removed between 2003 and 2004 as part of the reconstruction of I-80 through the area.[citation needed]
East at I-80 Bus. (Wendover Boulevard) on theNevada–Utah state line, February 2014
Interstate 80 Business (I-80 Bus.) is a 2.2605-mile (3.6379 km) unofficial business route of I-80 inWest Wendover, Nevada, andWendover, Utah, that is southern loop off of I-80 and runs mostly alongWendover Boulevard. Wendover Boulevard was part of the originalUS Route 40 (US 40). The western part of the Nevada segmentruns concurrently withUS 93 Alternate, and the entire segment in Utah is concurrent andcoterminous withState Route 58. TheNevada Department of Transportation applied for the business loop designation in the early 1980s, but the designation has never been approved because theUtah Department of Transportation never submitted a similar request. Despite being unofficial, the business loop is signed as such, even in Utah. Between July 1976 and 1993, I-80 Bus. segment in Nevada was entirely concurrent with the formerState Route 224.
Interstate 80 Business Loop (I-80 BL) is abusiness loop ofI-80 that runs 3.15 miles (5.07 km) throughEvanston in westernUinta County. The business route is coexistent withU.S. Route 189 Business (US 189 Bus.) for its entire length.

In the downtown area, I-80 BL turns southeast onto Front Street. At the intersection of Front Street and 6th Street, which is the northern terminus ofWyoming Highway 150 (WYO 150) and the southern terminus ofWYO 89, the business route turns north and crosses theUnion Pacific Railroad'sEvanston Subdivision rail line. I-80 BL crosses theBear River, then turns east onto Bear River Drive (Lincoln Highway) while WYO 89 continues north. The business route follows Bear River Drive east, then meets I-80 again at exit 6, before terminating at theBear River State Park rest area south of the Interstate.[5]

Next to the railyard, the business route has an intersection withWYO 530 (Uinta Drive), which heads north, then curves back south and bridges the business route and the railyard on its way to the portion of the city south of the Green River. Immediately east of WYO 530, I-80 BL rejoins the mainline Interstate at exit 91, another trumpet interchange.[6]
Interstate 80 Business (I-80 BL) is abusiness loop ofI-80 that runs 4.12 miles (6.63 km) throughRock Springs in centralSweetwater County. The business route is coexistent withU.S. Route 30 Business (US 30 Bus.) for its entire length. I-80 BL begins at exit 102 and heads east along Dewar Drive. The highway curves northeast and passes to the north of downtown Rock Springs. Downtown is served byWYO 430, which I-80 BL intersects just east of a rail line that branches north from theUnion Pacific Railroad'sRawlins Subdivision. The business route follows Center Street west of WYO 430 and Bridger Avenue to the east, then follows Pilot Butte Avenue through the eastern part of the city to its eastern junction with I-80 at exit 107.[6]

Interstate 80 Business (I-80 Bus.) is abusiness loop in the US state ofWyoming. It serves as a loop throughPine Bluffs, nearI-80 and traverses approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km). Concurrent highway routing in the Pine Bluffs area is alongUS 30 (including Parsons Street). Previous concurrent routing included US 30 andState Link 53B (L-53B) in Nebraska. All signs and references to the business loop in Nebraska were completely removed in 2009, due to a decommissioning of all such related Interstate routes statewide. Business route shields were removed on the Wyoming side around the same time but were reinstalled in places along the route in Pine Bluffs in 2012.[citation needed]
Interstate 80 Business (I-80 Bus.) was abusiness loop in the US state ofNebraska. It served as a loop throughSidney, nearI-80 and traversed approximately nine miles (14 km) over multiple highways. Concurrent highways includedNebraska Highway 19 (N-19),US 30 (Illinois Street) andL-17J. All signs and references to the business loop were removed in 2009 due to a decommissioning of all such related Interstate routes statewide.[citation needed]
Interstate 80 Business (I-80 Bus.) was abusiness loop in the US state ofNebraska. It served as a services loop throughLincoln for Interstate travelers, as the Interstate was outside of the city at the time. The route traversed the range of 11 to 14 miles (18 to 23 km), over various city streets and several highways. The business route entered the city from the west atI-80, overlapping withUS 6 (West "O" Street), was aligned with several downtown one-way streets, went past the University of Nebraska City/East Campuses, and exited the city to the northeast, back to the Interstate, along the US 6 (Cornhusker Highway)/US 77 corridors (generally following the old Detroit–Lincoln–Denver Highway route throughout the city). The route was established in 1962 and was decommissioned at an unknown later date.[9]
