| Location | Tremonton |
Interstate 84 Business (I-84 Bus) is a business loop of I-84 along State Route 102 (SR-102), I-15 Bus, and SR-13 in Tremonton and Elwood.
I-84 Bus begins at exit 40 on I-84 and follows SR-102 (West Main Street), then goes under bridges for I-15 with no access. At Iowa String Road, the route is joined by I-15 Bus, and both I-15 Bus/I-84 Bus run east along SR-102. At North and South Tremonton streets, I-15 Bus/I-84 Bus/SR-102 changes from West Main Street to East Main Street. Well beyond the developed areas of Tremonton, I-15 Bus/I-84 Bus encounters the intersection with SR-13 (4700th Street West) and turn south onto that route, while SR-102 continues east toward Deweyville. Between the first and second intersections south of there, I-15 Bus/I-84 Bus/SR-13 enters Elwood and all three routes continue to run straight south. I-15 Bus and I-84 Bus both end at exit 376 in Elwood at the I-15/I-84 overlap, while SR-13 continues to run south toward Corinne and other communities.
Brigham City business loop
Interstate 84 Business | |
|---|---|
| Location | Brigham City |
Interstate 84 Business (I-84 Bus) is a business loop of I-84 along I-15 Bus in Brigham City.
The route begins at a folded diamond interchange with I-15/I-84 at exit 365 and runs south along SR-13. The reason for the folded diamond is due to the fact that the segment of SR-13 that the routes originally overlap runs along the north side of a Union Pacific Railroad line. The tracks move away from the road between North 1100th West Street, and 950th West Street, only to cross under a low bridge for another Union Pacific Railroad line, and then another bridge for North 500th West Street.
I-15 Bus/I-84 Bus/SR-13 curves to the right before turning south at the intersection with North Main Street, which is also the southern terminus of SR-38. The routes cross over a bridge over Box Elder Creek between 500th Street North and 400th Street North. At Forest Street, North Main Street becomes South Main Street, which runs under the Brigham City Archway. One and a half blocks later, they intersect 200th Street South, which also serves as the western terminus of SR-90, and instantly runs between the National Register of Historic Places-listed Box Elder Stake Tabernacle on the southeast corner of that intersection, and the contemporary but still traditional Brigham City Utah Temple on the southwest corner.
SR-13 ends at the southern terminus of the overlap of US 89/US 91, and I-15 Bus/I-84 Bus makes a sharp right turn along southbound US 91, while South Main Street is taken over by southbound US 89. I-15 Bus/I-84 Bus/US 91 runs west along West 1100th Street South. I-15 Bus/I-84 Bus ends at exit 362, a diverging diamond interchange with I-15/I-84, while West 1100th Street South continues into the I-15 frontage road, and becomes a dead-end street at the truck stop along the aforementioned frontage road.
