Business Loop I-10 - Phoenix

Business Loop I-10 through Phoenix used to follow Van Buren Street and the freeway along SR 143. It was in place while the Papago Freeway section of I-10 was under construction. Decommissioning took place by the early 1990s, perhaps after the Interstate 10 freeway opened to traffic on August 10, 1990. Alan Hamilton added that Business Loop I-10 was signed at the southbound Van Buren exit on I-17, on the eastbound exit at 27th Avenue on I-10, and with various reassurance markers through Phoenix. The route was not posted on the I-10 mainline at the east end with 44th Street. See his Wrong Way!! photo page for a scan showing button copy signage for Exit 200 B off Interstate 17 that previously included Business Loop I-10.
