Interstate 80 Business (BL-80) is an interstate business route in Humboldt County, Nevada. Serving the city of Winnemucca along Winnemucca Boulevard, BL-80 is also cosigned along portions of three other state highways through the city:

U.S. Route 95 (US 95) from Interstate 80 (I-80) exit 176 to Melarkey Street.[2]
State Route 289 (SR 289) from US 95 at Melarkey Street to East Second Street.[3]
State Route 794 (SR 794) from SR 289 at East Second Street to I-80 exit 180.[4]

Route description

View south along SR 289 at SR 794 in Winnemucca. Note no directional signage for BL-80. This is because BL-80 follows both SR 794 east (to the left) and SR 289 south (straight ahead) from this intersection.

BL-80 starts south of the incorporated city at exit 176 on I-80 / US 95. The highway heads northeast concurrent with US 95, and parallel to US 80 and a railway through Winnemucca. Traveling further north, the route gets to an intersection with Melarkey Street, where US 95 leaves BL-80 and runs north under I-80. At this intersection, the business loop now runs concurrently with SR 289 until it branches off to the east, and SR 289 continues to the northeast under I-80. Over the final stretch from this intersection to its eastern terminus at exit 180 on I-80, BL-80 runs concurrently with SR 794, also named East Winnemucca Boulevard.

History

The Interstate 80 Business designation was first approved by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials at its spring meeting on June 28, 1982.[5]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Humboldt County.
