Business routes of Interstate 5 (I-5) exist in both California and Washington. There are no business routes in Oregon as that state does not assign such designations for any of its Interstate Highways. However, Oregon Route 99 (OR 99) essentially acts as a business route for most of Oregon, along with OR 99W and OR 99E, which also has its own business route in Salem.
California
Interstate business routes in California are assigned by the California 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 the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO).[1]

Leaving Willows, I-5 Bus. passes through farmland, interrupted briefly by communities like Bluegum, where it curves away from the tracks to run along Walker Creek, only to cross a bridge over that creek and resumes hugging the side of the tracks again.

Continuing its journey through rural Glenn County, I-5 Bus. passes through Grapit, then crosses a bridge over another canal to enter Greenwood. The route begins moving closer through the tracks as it continues through rural land and returns to the tracks after CR 20. The road returns to more rural setting as it enters Orland where it becomes Sixth Street and edges away from the tracks for local buildings on the east side. The intersection of Newville Road and Walker Street is where I-5 Bus. encounters SR 32. Two blocks later, the road hugs the side of the tracks again, and the road runs under an arch at a short bridge over the Stony Creek Irrigation Canal immediately south of the intersection with Almond Way. The tracks curve to the northeast away from the route just before the bridge over Hambright Creek where the road enters Wyo and then runs over a longer bridge over Stony Creek. After passing CR 9 then CR 8 on the east side, the business route turns left onto CR 7, while the former US 99W continues northward as "Highway 99W".

Shortly after returning to the side of the tracks it encounters a railroad crossing of a spur leading to the south side of the mountain almost to McCloud. Shortly after passing by some industrial zoning, the remnant of an even older section of US 99 can be found at Ski Village Drive. After making a sharp curve to the west, the old section of US 99 is spotted again as Road Number 2M16, albeit cut off from I-5 Bus. as a dead-end street.
