Highway system

Interstate business routes are roads connecting a central or commercial district of a city or town with an Interstate bypass. These roads typically follow along local streets often along a former US or state highway that had been replaced by an Interstate. Interstate business route reassurance markers are signed as either loops or spurs using a green shield shaped sign and numbered like the shield of the parent Interstate Highway.

Contents

Along Interstate 25 (I-25), business routes are found in all three states through which I-25 passes: New Mexico, Colorado, and Wyoming. Some states regard Interstate business routes as fully integrated within their state highway system while other states consider them to be either local roads to be maintained by county or municipal authorities or a hybrid of state and local control. Every state along I-25 regards its business routes as fully incorporated members of their respective state maintained highway systems.

Although the public may differentiate between different business routes by the number of the parent route and the location of the route, there is no uniform naming convention. Each state highway department internally uses its own designations to identify segments within its jurisdiction.

New Mexico

All the business loops within New Mexico are maintained by the New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT). In New Mexico, Interstate business routes are named independently of their parent Interstate's designation with business loops of I-25 numbered between 10–19, those of I-10 between 20–29, and those of I-40 between 30–39. New Mexico business loop numbers ascend eastward and northward with gaps in numbering to allow for future designations. I-25 begins with a business route through Williamsburg and Truth or Consequences before proceeding northward with additional routes serving the towns of Socorro, Belen, Las Vegas, Springer, and Raton. These routes largely conform to the current or former alignment of the unsigned US Highway 85 (US 85) through these communities before the construction of I-25. NMDOT has decommissioned US 85 throughout the state and no longer signs the highway along its length, as US 85 entirely follows I-25 with the single exception of the business loop in Las Vegas. The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), however, continues to recognize the New Mexico portion of US 85 maintaining continuity with sections in adjacent states.

Williamsburg–Truth or Consequences

Location WilliamsburgTruth or Consequences
Length5.711 mi [1] :1 (9.191 km)

Interstate 25 Business (I-25 Bus.), inventoried as Business Loop 11 (BL 11), is a 5.711-mile (9.191 km) business loop serving the cities of Williamsburg and Truth or Consequences in Sierra County. The loop begins at exit 75 of I-25 in Williamsburg, intersecting State Road 187 (NM 187), traveling northeast on Broadway Street through Truth or Consequences until meeting Main Avenue. Between that point and Date Street, the route follows two one-way roads with Broadway carrying northbound traffic and Main conveying traffic to the south. The routes combine and turn north on Date Street, intersecting the western terminus of NM 51. Turning northwest, the highway intersects NM 181 and terminates at exit 79 on I-25 on the north side of Truth or Consequences. [2] :1 [3]

Most of the loop, with the exception of its I-25 interchanges, was previously part of US 85, which joined the route from the south at NM 187 and departed to the north along NM 181. [4] :42–43

Major intersections
The entire route is in Sierra County.

Colorado

All Interstate business routes in Colorado are maintained by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT). Within Colorado, all highways maintained by the state are classified as state highways, including Interstates and US Highways which hold the same numerical designations as their nationally established routes. The numerical values of all state highway names are followed by an alphabetic suffix, although this convention is used by the department internally and not reflected in route signage. Hence, the mainline of I-25 throughout the length of the state is classified as State Highway 25A (SH 25A) while its two business routes in Aguilar and Walsenburg are internally named SH 25B and SH 25C, respectively. US 85 and US 87 are hidden routes not recognized nor signed by CDOT in southern Colorado. They are, however, established AASHTO routes maintaining continuity with signed portions in other states along their routes. In southern Colorado, the routes primarily follow I-25, including at Aguilar, but with deviations, such as along the Walsenburg business route. In addition to these, US 160 joins I-25 at Walsenburg and follows concurrently with the Interstate to Trinidad, including the portion bypassing Aguilar. Thus, in Walsenburg, US 160 crosses the business route in the town center and again at the business route's southern terminus.

Trinidad

Interstate 25 Business

State Highway 25A
Location Trinidad
Length0.5 mi (800 m)

Interstate 25 Business (I-25 Bus.), inventoried as State Highway 25A (SH 25A), was a business route of I-25 that connected Trinidad in Las Animas County to the Interstate. The 0.5-mile (0.80 km) route began as Animas Street, coming from University Street at a diamond interchange at exit 13 on I-25. The route was concurrent with US 160 along Main Street. The route turned southwest on Main Street and terminated at I-25. In 2009, a reconstruction project involved a replacement of the northbound viaduct crossing the Purgatoire River and more reconstruction in 2011, adding a new diamond interchange at Main Street and I-25 and replacing the antiquated ramps at Animas and University streets, which ultimately eliminated the route. [11]

Interstate 25 Business (I-25 Bus.), inventoried as State Highway 25C (SH 25C), is a business loop of I-25 serving the town of Walsenburg in Huerfano County. The 4.356-mile (7.010 km) route begins at I-25 exit 49 and proceeds to the west along the southern edge of Walsenburg. The route then turns to the northwest along Walsen Avenue. At Seventh Street, US 160 intersects from the west US 160 runs concurrently with the loop until US 160 turns off to the east along Fifth Street to I-25. The loop then continues northeast along Walsen Avenue, leaving town, and intersects SH 69 before terminating at I-25 exit 52. [14] [15]

CDOT does not recognize or sign US 85 in the southernmost part of its route within the state, nor does it recognize US 87 anywhere within Colorado, as they are redundant with other routes in the state highway system. [16] The highways remain established by AASHTO primarily along I-25 in southern Colorado and along Walsenburg's I-25 business route. [17]

Interstate 25 Business (I-25 Bus.), inventoried as State Highway 25 Business (SH 25 Bus.), was a business loop of I-25 that served downtown Colorado Springs and Northeast Colorado Springs. The route started at exit 140 on I-25 and ran along with Nevada Avenue. This route was also part of the CanAm Highway. It was a four-lane divided street that took a straight shot through downtown going north. The route terminated at exit 148 at I-25. In 2007, actions were taken to decommission the route, along with SH 38 and portions of SH 83, in an effort to add the alignment of SH 21 (Powers Boulevard). [18]

Wyoming

All business routes of I-25 within Wyoming are maintained by the Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT). Wyoming has no naming convention for disambiguation between different business routes with all designated simply as I-25 Business (I-25 Bus.) along the Interstate. I-25 has seven business routes within the state. Road concurrences are frequent in Wyoming, and the seven business highways often overlay multiple other highways, including US 87 Bus., wholly or partly at most of these seven locations, as US 87 largely follows I-25 throughout the state.

U.S. Highway 87 Business

Location Cheyenne

Interstate 25 Business (I-25 Bus.) and U.S. Highway 87 Business (US 87 Bus.) are business loops serving the city of Cheyenne in Laramie County. The 8.006-mile (12.884 km) multiplexed highway begins at exit 7 of I-25/US 87 and is routed along Wyoming Highway 212 (WYO 212) and named College Drive. At just over 2.5 miles (4.0 km), US 85 is intersected. Here, I-25 Bus. leaves WYO 212, turns north onto US 85, and remains paired with it until its end. I-25 Bus./US 85/US 87 Bus. enter Cheyenne from the south and intersect I-80 at exit 362. At this point, I-180 begins. Despite the Interstate designation, the I-180 portion is not a freeway. The I-180 concurrency only lasts for just over one mile (1.6 km) as I-180 ends at I-80 Bus./US 30 along Lincolnway. I-25 Bus. continues north with US 85 and US 87 Bus. now as a one-way couplet through central Cheyenne northbound as Warren Avenue and southbound as Central Avenue. Near Cheyenne Regional Airport, the one-way streets combine and continue as Central Avenue before intersecting the southern terminus of WYO 219 at Yellowstone Road. I-25 Bus. and US 87 Bus. terminate at exit 12 of I-25/US 87. Here, US 85 joins those routes northbound. [20] [21]
