The Richfield business loop follows Utah State Route 120 along 1200 South and Main Street through the Sevier County seat. Trailblazers for I-70 and U.S. 89 take the place of Business Loop shields on the 3.87 mile long route. Guide signs posted on I-70/U.S. 89 at Exit 37 and Exit 40 however acknowledge the route.

With a population of 8,201 as of the 2020 Census, Richfield sits at an elevation of 5,354 feet above sea level. The Richfield north and south access roads were constructed at the same time the I-70 mainline was built to the west of the city in 1986.
