I-84 shares a 35.98 mile concurrency with Interstate 15 southward across Bear River Valley to Brigham City and Ogden. Southeast from I-15, I-84 crosses the Wasatch Range through Weber Canyon, Morgan Valley, Upper Weber Canyon and Henefer Valley to end at Interstate 80 and Echo Junction.

The Portland, Oregon to Echo, Utah freeway was designated as Interstate 80N until 1977, when the American Association State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO) approved the renumbering to Interstate 84 as part of transportation officials efforts to eliminate suffixed Interstate routes. Sign changes were finalized by July 1, 1980.¹

Initial segments of the route in Utah opened by 1969 included the 4.1 mile portion from the Idaho state line to SR 30 near Snowville, a 4.3 mile stretch leading to and from Rattlesnake Pass, and the easternmost seven miles from Henefer to Echo Junction. Another 16.8 miles of I-80N was under construction in 1969 both west of Tremonton and east of Ogden.²

Northern Utah - 1971. Interstate 80N directly replaced or paralleled U.S. 30S as it was constructed from Snowville southeast to Echo.

Interstate 80N was complete across Utah by 1974 with the exception of a 9.8 mile link between Blue Creek Summit and Tremonton in Box Elder County. That section was scheduled for 1983,³ but work on the three year project did not commence until 1983. The $21 million project finally opened to traffic following a dedication ceremony held on September 25, 1986.⁴
