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.
