Inventoried by CDOT as Route 025C, the 4.04 mile long business loop for Walsenburg runs west from Exit 49 to Main Street (old U.S. 85-87) and the city center. Walsen Avenue extends the route northward to I-25 at Exit 52. U.S. 85/87 remain paired with I-25 instead of overlapping with the business route.

U.S. 160 travels 5th Street west from I-25 at Exit 50 to Main Street, where it joins Business Loop I-25 for two blocks south to 7th Street. Shields are posted for U.S. 160 along 5th Street, but signing at Downtown Walsenburg, and on the Interstate 25 mainline, direct motorists following U.S. 160 to use the southern half of Business Loop I-25 instead.
