Business Loop I-90 - Spokane

Former Business Route

Business Loop I-90 at Airport Dr in Spokane, WA — U.S. 2 separates from I-90 west along a short freeway spur northeast of Spokane International Airport (GEG) to Sunset Highway and Airport Drive. Sunset Highway (old U.S. 2) joined Business Loop I-90 (Sunset Boulevard) leading east into West Spokane. Photo by Jeff Royston (07/15/13).

Business Loop I-90 in Spokane followed a ten-mile course from Exit 276 to Exit 285 along portions of old U.S. 10. Portions of old U.S. 2, U.S. 195, and U.S. 395 ran concurrent with parts of old U.S. 10 in the Spokane area.

The Spokane Business Loop varied in signing by the early 2000s. Mark Bozanich added:

Entering Spokane from the west, Business Loop I-90 is posted from both I-90/U.S. 395 and U.S. 2. From the east, the traditional business route is posted at the Interstate 90 exit as the Sprague Avenue Business Route. Spokane County not only does not do a good job of posting Business Loop 90 signs along East Sprague Ave, it also avoids posting trailblazer signs to Interstate 90 from those north-south arterials that cross Sprague and [the] interchange with Interstate 90.

A visit to Spokane in 2006 revealed no signing for Business Loop I-90 along the mainline in the city center. The only signs remaining for this business loop are posted at the interchange between U.S. 2 and Sunset Highway, northeast of Spokane International Airport (GEG).
