Highway system

Interstate 80 Business may refer to several business routes of the Interstate Highway System that connects Interstate 80 with the central business district of various cities bypassed by I-80. The business route in each community is considered a unique route. In many cases, these routes are a former section of a U.S. Route or state highway.

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]

Interstate 80 Business (I-80 Bus.), called the Capital City Freeway in its entirety, is a

I-305 designation to the west half, which met Interstate Highway standards. However, Caltrans has never signed this number, put it on any road signs, or used it internally. (Note: The Federal 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.) is a

business loop in the US state of Wyoming. It serves as a loop through Pine Bluffs, near I-80 and traverses approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km). Concurrent highway routing in the Pine Bluffs area is along US 30 (including Parsons Street). Previous concurrent routing included US 30 and State 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 a

business loop in the US state of Nebraska. It served as a services loop through Lincoln 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 at I-80, overlapping with US 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]
