Multiple Business routes in one city

[SD Mapman]

So Sioux Falls has three different business Interstate routes. Are there any other cities with more?

(and to widen the field, why not throw in other kinds of business routes as well. It'll make it more fun. I think Casper has 4 combined (one I, 3 US), and that's the best I can think of right now. Any more?)

[NE2]

Warrenton, VA has four. What makes it particularly special is that 15 and 211 Biz go right through downtown, while 17 and 29 Biz actually follow the first-generation bypass (along with plain 211).

[1995hoo]

Are we talking about business Interstates (as indicated in the OP's text) or business routes in general (as indicated in the subject line and in NE2's response citing US routes)?

[SD Mapman]

Well, both, because focusing just on Business Interstates, we would run out of options quickly.

[Brandon]

Lansing, Michigan has four: BL-69, BL-96, BL-US-127, and the Capitol Loop (BL-496).

[TheStranger]

San Diego has had a Business I-5 and a Business I-8 at the same time though I'm not sure either one still exists.

Oakland used to have Business US 40 (now Route 123) and Business US 50 (which ran along a mile or two of the Cypress section of Route 17/today's I-880, then on surface streets including Grand Avenue).

Was the "Business I-5" along San Fernando Road in Los Angeles a real designation, or just something Rand McNally put on maps regularly decades ago?  IIRC, Business US 101 along Ventura Boulevard did exist.

Riverside has a Business Route 91 and used to have a Business US 395.

Bakersfield has a Business Route 58 and a Business Route 99 (which intersect if I am not mistaken).

[roadman65]

Lakeland, FL used to have both a Business US 92 and Business US 98 that both ran concurrent through Downtown Lakeland.

Port Huron, MI has both BL I-69 and BL I-94.

Bedford, PA has US 30 Business and US 220 Business.

[Takumi]

Suffolk, VA has at least 3. US 13, 58, and 460, and maybe VA 32. Posting exists for the latter but I don't know if it's an official designation.

[roadman65]

US 77, and US 83 in Brownsville.  Although I heard that the SLD shows only US 77 as it being a designated Business Route, however the signs say otherwise.

[jdb1234]

Dothan, AL has 3 Business Routes:  US 231, US 431, and US 84.

[bassoon1986]

Alexandria, LA has Bus US 165, Bus US 167, and Bus LA 28. At one time US 71 had a business route as well, but it would have been a long time before 28 had its own.

[cjk374]

Magnolia, AR has US 79 & US 82 Bus. routes.

El Dorado, AR has US 82 & US 167 Bus. routes, running concurrent.

Natchitoches, LA has LA 1 & LA 6 Bus. routes intersecting in historic downtown.

Baton Rouge, LA has US 61 & US 190 Bus. routes running concurrent.

[Mapmikey]

Laurinburg NC has 4: US 15, US 74, US 401, US 501

I don't believe South Carolina has anyplace that has ever had more than 3.

Reading, PA has business routes for US 222 and 422.

[roadman65]

Alexandria, LA has Bus US 165, Bus US 167, and Bus LA 28. At one time US 71 had a business route as well, but it would have been a long time before 28 had its own.

That is because it has a BY-PASS so its through town alignment is its mainline.

[sbeaver44]

Lynchburg, VA:  US 29/US 460/US 501 Business

(Also, Roanoke has US 11 Alt, US 220 Alt, US 460 Alt... interesting)

[SSOWorld]

Welcome to Wisconsin - the land of concurrent business routes (US 18/151 Business in Verona, Mount Horeb) and WIS 42/57 Business in Sturgeon Bay.

[GaryV]

Many Michigan cities have 2 business routes:
Kalamazoo
Grand Rapids
Jackson
Ann Arbor
Holland
even Clare

Plus the aforementioned Port Huron and Lansing

Warrenton, VA has four. What makes it particularly special is that 15 and 211 Biz go right through downtown, while 17 and 29 Biz actually follow the first-generation bypass (along with plain 211).

Up the road on U.S. 15, Leesburg, Va., has Business Va. 7 (East and West Market Street) and another Business U.S. 15 (North and South King Street).

[DandyDan]

In Nebraska, Nebraska City has 2 (Business NE 2 and Business US 75) and so does Fremont (Business US 275 and Business US 30), although none of them are officially state-recognized.

Iowa has Business US 75 and Business US 20 in Sioux City.  I thought Fort Dodge also had its own Business US 20 as well as Business US 169, but I thought one of them went off the books at some point.

Seymour - BU 183, 277, and 283, which are all concurrent with each other for the entire length, in the most pointless designation ever. Maybe one day they'll build a bridge over the Brazos west of town and reroute US 82 and SH 114 and end up with 5 business routes for a town of 2700.

[kphoger]

Wait a minute... 183, 277, and 283 are all concurrent around the town of Seymour. How else should its business route be numbered? I don't think it makes sense to just pick one number and ignore the rest. A business route for three concurrent highways through a town of 2700 is no more silly than a business route with only one number through the same town.
