 Posted: Sun Aug 30, 2009 10:07 pm Post subject: I-80 Business Loops in Fernley and Winnemucca, NV |
 |
|
I believe the western ends for these business loops are incorrect:
NV I-80BLFer should start at Exit 46, not Exit 43
NV I-80BLWin should start at Exit 176, not Exit 173
I was able to confirm this from Google Maps StreetView - before each exit along eastbound I-80, there is a sign that says "I-80 Business Loop, Next Right" (or something to that effect).
Is there any official documentation available from NDOT that can confirm this?

I checked the NDOT website and they don't seem to recognize any of the Interstate Business routes. They aren't mentioned in the route descriptions or on the state maps. The routes currently in the browser appear to be from The Interstate Guide website in the Business Routes sections. Since the Streetview shows something different, I will make the changes to the western endpoints in the next couple of days.

Thanks. I actually drove on these roads back in June 2006 during a trip across Nevada. When I updated my clinched highways list, however, I was disappointed to see that I had missed a few miles of I-80BLFer and I-80BLWin. Since I didn't have a print-out of the Business Loops with me, I guessed their location.
With these updates, I now will have clinched every Interstate in Nevada!

| I clinched I-80BLWin back in October 06. Luckily, just remembering that I'd clinched it 100%, I entered in the I-80_W I-80_E segment. Don't even have to change my labels. w0ot! |

You didn't see the billboards for 'Winnemucca: City of Paved Streets'?

The I-80 Business Loops all have assigned NV state highway numbers. In Winnemucca, it is NV 289. In Winnemucca, the NV highway number is on the primary exit signage; the I-80 Bus. shields are on secondary signage with "Business Loop" written next to the green shield. |
