Business Loop I-10

Links:

In California, there are four instances of Business Loop I-10 currently in existence (some better signed than others):

  • Pomona, Montclair, and Ontario - This was formerly Business U.S. 70-99 and was signed as Business Loop I-10 in the 1960s along Holt Boulevard. The loop begins at the Kellogg Interchange (Exit 42B to southbound California 71, then east on Holt Avenue at Exit 14 from California 71) and is supposed to extend east to Shields still remain along this route, which follows Holt Boulevard between California 71 and just east of the Ontario International Airport. Ali Pezeshkpour wrote on May 1, 2001, "The business shields are only found in Pomona, and even though I have desperately tried to find some sign that would point to a business route, I have found none on California 71 or Interstate 10. The interchanges with these freeways are not optimal, because first of all, only Westbound Interstate 10 can access Holt Boulevard, and only Eastbound Holt Boulevard can access Eastbound Interstate 10, which allows for minimum signage even for Holt Boulevard. [At] the California 71 interchange no signs are here for any loop either. The loop shields were continuous until California 71. The reason I suspect the shields are only in Pomona is because Pomona is Los Angeles County and Ontario and beyond is in San Bernardino County."
  • Fontana and Colton - This business route begins east of Interstate 15 and follows Valley Boulevard (former U.S. 70-99) through Colton between Exit 59 (Etiwanda Avenue/Valley Boulevard/Commerce Drive) and Exit 71 (Mount Vernon Avenue). Cameron Kaiser has photos from 2006 that verify that the loop is signed at least once on Valley Boulevard, but this business loop is not listed in the 1991 state signing log.
  • Indio. This business route follows Indio Boulevard along former U.S. 60-70-99, beginning at Exit 139 and returning to Interstate 10 at Exit 146 via Dillon Road. This business route is a well-preserved section of old U.S. highway through Indio as it parallels a train yard. The western part of the route is maintained by the city, the middle segment is controlled by the state, and the eastern section is maintained by the city of Coachella. At its intersection with California 111 just east of downtown (intersection of Indio Boulevard, Golf Center Parkway, and Avenue 46) is the northern terminus of California 86. California 86-111 then concurrently run south along with Business Loop I-10. The business route leaves Indio, then turns northeast at the Coachella city limits onto Dillon Road. The business loop follows Dillon Road past the California 86S expressway interchange, then rejoins Interstate 10 at Exit 146. According to the California State Highway System Signing Log (October 1991), Business Loop I-10 in Indio runs from "Interstate 10 and Indio overcrossing near Indio via Indio Boulevard and State Route 86 to Interstate 10 and Dillon Road."
  • Blythe. This business loop is not listed in the 1991 state signing log, but it is well-signed. The business loop begins at Exit 236, Junction California 78/Neighbors Boulevard. From Exit 236, Business Loop I-10 follows Neighbors Boulevard north briefly, then turns east onto Hobsonway, then follows Hobsonway east into downtown Blythe. The business route retuns to Interstate 10 near the Colorado River at the Riviera Drive interchange (Exit 243). To rejoin Interstate 10, the business loop follows Hobsonway to Queshan Park, then turns due south to pass under Interstate 10, and then it turns west briefly to the onramp back onto Interstate 10.

Business Loop I-10, Pomona-Montclair-Ontario (Eastbound)
In Montclair, a major signalized intersection on Business Loop I-10/Holt Boulevard east is with Central Avenue. Turn left to follow Central Avenue north to Interstate 10 Exit 49 near Montclair Plaza. To the south (right), Central Avenue connects with California 60 at Exit 33. Photo taken 07/15/07.
As eastbound Business Loop I-10 and U.S. 70-99/Holt Boulevard approach Mountain Avenue in Ontario, this old "Central Business District" is posted prior to the intersection traffic signal. To the south, Mountain Avenue crosses over the Union Pacific Railroad and offers a grade separation from both Brooks Street and State Street on the north and south sides of the railroad tracks. Photo taken 07/15/07.
Business Loop I-10, Ontario-Montclair-Pomona (Westbound)
We begin our journey along Business Loop I-10 (U.S. 70-99) on Holt Boulevard in downtown Ontario after the California 83/Euclid Avenue intersection. The city of Ontario has a population of 170,373 as of the 2000 Census. The city is known for Ontario Mills, the largest shopping mall in Southern California. Many visitors to Ontario use the regional Ontario International Airport, which has nationwide service and can be a less stressful airport connection for people of the Inland Empire than using Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Ontario, with its huge population, is one of the largest cities in the Inland Empire and is growing at a rapid pace. With a warm climate (average median temperature is 83 degrees with 16 inches of precipitation annually) and low elevation (925 feet above sea level), people are moving in droves to this area.

The supposed overlap of these two routes is not signed. Plenty of graffiti covers this completely illegible California 71 north freeway entrance shield. Continue straight on Holt Avenue to connect to California 71 south to Corona. Photo taken 07/15/07.
Turn right to follow a loop ramp onto California 71 south. To the left, Humane Way leads south to join Mission Boulevard. At this point, Holt Avenue ends, and Valley Boulevard begins.

A more industrial area awaits as Valley Boulevard passes between Ninth Street and Mount Vernon Avenue. Photo taken 07/15/07.
At Mount Vernon Avenue, through traffic on Business Loop I-10 should turn south to merge onto Interstate 10. However, the business route continues along Valley Boulevard until Sperry Drive, where an offramp leads from Interstate 10 west to Business Loop I-10 west. Photo taken 07/15/07.
Turning south onto Mount Vernon Avenue, signage for Interstate 10 east and west is posted after the intersection with Valley Boulevard (Business Loop I-10). Photo taken 07/15/07.

The routes divide at the intersection of Indio Boulevard and Dillon Road (48th Avenue). While California 86 and California 111 proceed south into the city of Coachella as Grapefruit Boulevard, and eastbound Business Loop I-10 turns left to return to Interstate 10 via Dillon Road. Old U.S. 60-70-99 follow California 111 south through Coachella, then divide at the point where California 111 and California 86 divide (at the split between Grapefruit Boulevard and Harrison Street in Coachella). U.S. 60-70 follow California 111 southeast to Mecca, then turn east via Box Canyon Road toward Interstate 10 at Chiriaco Summit. U.S. 99 proceeds south along old California 86 and the California 86 expressway toward Desert Shores, Salton City, Brawley, and El Centro. Photo taken 03/14/09.
Business Loop I-10 (Indio) east
After Business Loop I-10 splits from former California 86-111 at the border between the cities of Indio and Coachella in the Coachella Valley, it follows Dillon Road back to California 86S and Interstate 10.

Westbound Business Loop I-10 and Historic U.S. 60-70-99 pass under the Golf Center Parkway viaduct in downtown Indio. This reassurance shield used to be located just north of the point where California 111 splits off to the west via Avenue 46 toward Palm Springs. Golf Center Parkway itself is part of a connector route between California 111 and Interstate 10 in Indio. Business Loop I-10 used to also be designated as California 86 (and U.S. 99 before that), before that route was truncated at the point where California 111 turns west toward Palm Springs. The features of the original U.S. 99 expressway are still prominently featured today on sections northwest of this area. Business Loop I-10 closely parallels the railroad through Indio. Photo taken 11/11/99.
California 78/Neighbors Boulevard and Business Loop I-10 in Blythe east
After the ramp to Interstate 10 east to Phoenix, California 78 crosses over the Interstate 10 freeway and approaches the left turn to Interstate 10 west to Indio, San Bernardino, and Los Angeles. This is also the beginning of Business Loop I-10 east. Photo taken 03/14/09.
