Business Loop I-40D branches northeasterly from Interstate 40 at Exit 62 B along a divided highway to U.S. 60, U.S. 87 and U.S. 287 in north Amarillo. U.S. 60 combines with the business route for 11 miles east from there to Folsom and a rural split near the Carson County line. Beyond their separation, U.S. 60 stays north to Panhandle while Business Loop I-40 bee lines southeast to trumpet interchange (Exit 85) with I-40.

All 24.4 miles of Business Loop I-40 follow Historic U.S. 66. The route was created on October 25, 1990 in place of State Loop 552. 14.13 miles are attributed to the business loop while the rest are inventoried as U.S. 60.

A change made at the U.S. 60 and Business Loop I-40 east split removed the high speed wye configuration and replaced it with a 90 degree angle intersection.
