AS Route 84 ( US 84 ) is the west-east US Highway. It started as a short Georgia-Alabama route in its original 1926 scheme, but in 1941 it was extended to Colorado. The east side of the terminal is a short distance east of Midway, Georgia, at the intersection of Interstate 95. The road continues towards the nearby Atlantic Ocean as a county road. The western tip is in Pagosa Springs, Colorado, at the intersection with US 160.
Part of Brunswick, Georgia to Roscoe, Texas has been established by five state legislatures as part of El Camino East/West Corridor. This appointment is in recognition of its history as a migration route from the Atlantic coast to the current Mexican-American border, one of the routes that the Spanish settlers called the El Camino Real. (In Louisiana, the route is called Harrisonburg Road.) This appointment is intended to promote routes for tourism and trade facilitated by NAFTA with Mexico. The state requested federal funds to expand US 84 East El Camino/Western Corridor.

Route description
Colorado
The $ 84 western terminus, Pagosa Springs, Colorado, was made famous by C. W. McCall in 1975 Wolf Creek Pass songs and albums. US $ 84 actually ends about 1 mile (1.6 km) east of downtown Pagosa Springs on T-intersection with US $ 160 (Main Street).
South of Pagosa Springs, 28 miles (45 km) from the Colorado section of US $ 84 passes part of San Juan National Forest. The highway uphill is Confar Hill, a drainage dividing between Rio Blanco and the Navajo River, before descending into Chromo village and passing through New Mexico.
New Mexico
US $ 84 enters Rio Arriba County, New Mexico 28 miles (45 km) south of its terminal in the US. 160. About 6 miles (9.7 km) south of the Colorado-New Mexico state line, US $ 64 comes from the west and travels simultaneously. with US $ 84 for the next 28 miles (45 km). Just 3 miles (4.8 km) east of this intersection, the concurrency crosses the Continental Divide at Sargent Pass, elevation 7,718 feet (2,352 m) above sea level or over 3,100 feet (940 m) lower than Wolf Creek Pass, next Continental Divide through the highway to the north. Therefore, only 37 miles (60 km) of US $ 84 lies west of the Continental Divide. About 12 miles (19 km) east of the intersection, US $ 64/US $ 84 enters the city of Chama. At the intersection, New Mexico State Road 17 enters from the north and stops at the intersection, while US $ 64 and US $ 84 enter from the south and west.
After heading south from Chama, US $ 64 and US $ 84 join for about 14 miles (23 km) to Tierra Amarilla, where US $ 64 departs from US $ 84 and heading southeast, while US $ 84 continues south. About 57 miles (92 km) on the road, US $ 84 joins US $ 285 south of Chile's small community. About 5 miles (8.0 km) further, US $ 84/US $ 285 entered the town of EspaÃÆ' Â ± ola from the north as North Paseo de Onate Street. At the southern end of town, US $ 84/US $ 285 becomes Santa Fe Highway and highway. Around 9 miles (14 km) further, US $ 84/US 285 becomes a limited access freeway. 15 miles (24 km) further south, two return to road surface status, and then travel through downtown Santa Fe via St. Francis Drive. On the southern side of Santa Fe on the interstate 282A, US $ 84/US $ 285 joins the northern I-25/US $ 85. All four highways lead east and slightly south to avoid the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Just before turning north, USÃ, 285 exit the highway at the exit 290 and continue south. After winding north and south, the freeway finally begins to head just north, and US $ 84 exits about 55 miles (89 km) then at exit 339 near Romeroville and travels east/southeast while I-25/US 85 continues north to north. Colorado. Following the southeast road and then to the south as far as 42 miles (68 km), US $ 84 joins the I-40 (and Historic US $ 66) at exit I-40 256. After 17 miles (27 km) I-40/USÃ , 84 enters Santa Rosa. Approximately 21 miles (34 km) from his encounter with I-40, US $ 84 diverged at exit 277.
The road then traveled south/southeast as far as 42 miles (68 km) to join US $ 60 in downtown Fort Sumner. From the junction with US $ 60, US $ 60/US, 84 travel east, past Taiban and Melrose before cutting US $ 70 after 61 miles (98 km) at Clovis. From the junction with US $ 70, US $ 64/USÃ, 70/USÃ, 84 travel east 8.7 miles (14.0 km) into Texico. Here, about 280 feet (85 m) before the Texas-New Mexico state line, US $ 60 is split from US $ 70/US $ 84 to US $ 70/US 84 to the east to Farwell, Texas. Although it is an east-west route, the US-84 is signed as north-south between Ft. Sumner and Colorado border.
Texas
US $ 70/USÃ,84 across to Texas at Farwell. After passing Farwell, US $ 70/US $ 84 turns southeast, continuing as concurrency until Muleshoe.
From Muleshoe, USÃ, 70 leaves the route, while USÃ,84 continues eastward across the plains of the Llano Estacado plains. Throughout this stretch, USÃ,84 moves parallel to the BNSF Railway, across a sandy section called Muleshoe Dunes, and then passes Littlefield, the birthplace of country singer Waylon Jennings. US $ 84 continues southeast through cotton fields and small towns such as Anton and Shallowater, eventually entering Lubbock, South Plains' largest city and the birthplace of Buddy Holly. Signed as Avenue Q, USÃ, 84 passes through the heart of downtown Lubbock before making a sharp eastward on the southeast side of the city, where it is known as Slaton Highway. After passing through the town of Slaton, USÃ,84 makes another soft turn to the east, following the southeast through Pos, Snyder, and Roscoe, where he joins the I-20.
From this point, US 84 follows I-20, unsigned, until Abilene, where it leaves the interstate, makes a violent southern shift and forms the western side of a three-quarter loop around the city (along with US 83 and US 277). From the south side of Abilene, US $ 84 continues as a concurrency with US 83 (signed as US $ 84/East and US 83 South/North) until two highways are split about 2 miles (3.2 km) northeast of Tuscola, and although still signed as east/west, defending the south/north destination. US $ 84 made a gentle back toward the southeast at Lawn, following this step until Santa Anna, where she joined US $ 67 and took a better turn.
US $ 84 merged with US $ 183 at Brownwood, and again switched to the southeast, continuing as concurrency up to Goldthwaite, where it left US $ 283 and again made a sharp turn eastward. It follows this title to McGregor. From McGregor, the highway turns northeast into Woodway; a stretch of US $ 84 is also signed as George W. Bush Parkway. US $ 84 then crossed into Waco, past the downtown area along Waco Drive, and then to the northeast to the suburbs of Bellmead. After a short concurrency with State Highway 31 via Bellmead, US $ 84 continues as it passes east through Mexia then in Teague, it takes another turn north before returning east at the crossroads with the I-45 at Fairfield.
US $ 84 joins US $ 79 and makes a northern turn to the southwest of Palestine, and then splits from US $ 79 in the southwest of the city center before making a turn east again and passing through the city. The highway follows a soft northeast path along the road to Timpson, through the town of Maydelle, Rusk where it intercepts with US 69, Reklaw, Mount Enterprise where it cuts US $ 259, and Timpson where it joins 59 US, and serves as the northern end of SHÃ, 87. From Timpson to Tenaha, it is a short concurrency with US $ 59 to its intersection with US $ 96. From this point, US $ 84 continues down the eastern path through the rest of east Texas, past Joaquin before crossing into Louisiana across the Sabine River to the town of Logansport.
Louisiana
After the highway left Logansport, he passed Stanley and then northeast into Mansfield, where he joined for a brief stretch with US 171. It continued east, crossing under I-49, until it reached Grand Bayou, where he turned to southeast, joining Louisiana HighwayÃ, 1 (LAÃ, 1). After approximately 2 miles (3.2 km), he returned again to the east, where he joined US 71 in Coushatta and remained with the highway until Clarence. He then heads northeast to Winnfield, where he joins for a short time of US $ 167. Turn northeast to Joyce, then begin a long stretch to the southeast, past Tullos, where he deducts US $ 165, through a parish seat Jena, and continue in that direction until it crosses into Catahoula Parish. It bears east through Jonesville to Ferriday, where it joins US 425. It then heads southeast through Vidalia where it crosses the Mississippi River to Natchez, Mississippi.
Mississippi
Four-legged Natchez-Vidalia bridge across the Mississippi River, bringing US $ 84 to Natchez. Here, he joined the US 61. Then traveled about 4 miles (6.4 km) to the northeast where it reached the western end of US $ 98 in Washington, where it was paired with US $ 98 to Bude/Meadville. The road continues east, crossing below I-55 and heading east to Collins.
A new shortcut from Collins opened in March 2009, freeing the very congenital original route through the city center. The new Bypass provides better access to US 49, one of the four lane Mississippi highways that connects Jackson and heads north through the Mississippi Delta with the Gulf Coast Mississippi. USÃ,84 trips along with I-59 for a short distance through Laurel. Then head east to Waynesboro and continue down the Alabama state line.
Alabama
In Alabama, US-84 was paired with an unsigned Alabama State RouteÃ, 12 (SR-12). Part of the route has been widened in recent years into a four-lane status. The most significant one exists from River Falls to the east to Andalusia, near Opp where the recent bypass of the city center now carries US-84s in the southern arc around the city, and from Enterprise to the east through Daleville and into the Dothan area and then Georgia State line on the Chattahoochee River at Saffold.
There are plans to extend the US-84 corridor to four lines elsewhere in Alabama but because the funding issues of these projects are in various stages of development. One of these stretches lies east of Opp, where construction begins on four lanes eastwards to Elba but stalled due to funding.
US-84 has a brief stretch along with other US Highway in Alabama. US-84 share routes with US-31 from just southwest Evergreen to several miles east of the city. It briefly shares the route with US 29 in the city of Andalusia. It also shares routes with US-331 near Opp. In Dothan, US-84 shares concurrency with US-231 and US-431 at Ross Clark Circle which is a bypass of city center circles.
US-84 crossing three main navigable waterways in Alabama. They are the Tombigbee River in Coffeeville, the Alabama River in Claiborne, and the Chattahoochee River in the state line of Alabama-Georgia. US-84 passes Enterprise very close to the large military facility Fort Rucker which is a training school of US Army helicopters. Most of the US-84 in Alabama traverses the relatively lowland Gulf Coast Plain with some sand content. This area is very agricultural with a bit of heavy industry. Dothan is the largest city in Alabama traversed by US-84 and is Southeast Alabama's business and agricultural center. This area is usually referred to as the Wiregrass Region.
Georgia
Upon entering Georgia from Alabama to the west of Jakin, Georgia, the route traveling through the southern part of the country, meets the east terminal on Interstate 95 east of Midway. The US route 84 via Georgia is also known as Wiregrass Georgia Parkway. Upon entering the state of Alabama, the US Route 84 travels east to Donalsonville to Bainbridge. Routes travel around the city to the south to cut shortcuts, cosigned with US Route 27/State Route 1. Routes continue east through Cairo to Thomasville, where it passes through the city center to the north and east, cosigned with US Route 319, then Route USA 19/State Route 3/State Route 300. This route continues east to Quitman, where it becomes Cosigned with the East Route 221 east, past the intersection with Interstate 75, into Valdosta. In Valdosta, Route 221 US departs, and US Route 84 continues east-northeast to Waycross, where it is briefly tagged with the U.S. Route. 1, 23, and 82. The US Route 84 continues northeast from Waycross, past the Blackshear before arriving at Jesup. In Jesup, the route becomes compiled with the U.S. Route. 25 and 301 northeast to Ludowici. In Ludowici, U.S. Route. 25 and 301 leave for the northwest, and US Route 84 continues northeast to Hinesville. In Hinesville, the route becomes structured with State Route 196 and takes a drastic twist to the east. Short distances, State Route 196 depart, and US Route 84 (as well as Route 38) continue east to its eastern terminal at exit 76 on Interstate 95 east of Midway.
Maps U.S. Route 84
History
When originally designated in 1926, US $ 84 was a much shorter route that included 281 miles (452 ​​miles) from Dothan, Alabama to Brunswick, Georgia. In 1934, the highway was extended west to Farwell, Texas before the next extension to the northwest to Colorado. (According to maps and documents held at the library of the Alabama Transportation Department in Montgomery, the section between Natchez, Mississippi, and Wagarville, Alabama was planned as US $ 86 the year before.)
Louisiana
Throughout Louisiana, US $ 84 is largely in tune with the existing State Route. A major exception is the western part of Clarence, where Route 6 follows a more southerly path from the Texas line through Natchitoches. In addition, US $ 84 takes advantage of a shorter route between Winnfield and Jena that passes Tullos than Olla. The only major rearrangement since 1934 occurred around 1955 when an improved road was opened between Mansfield and Coushatta passing the Grand Bayou rather than Evelyn. That year, the allotment of state highways signed with US $ 84 was terminated as part of the re-loading of Highway 1955 in Louisiana.
Mississippi-Alabama
After the extension, US $ 84 initially circled southeast at US $ 45 from Waynesboro, Mississippi to State Line, then east along Alabama State Route 56 to Wagarville, Alabama, and back north-east through US $ 43 to Grove Hill, Alabama. This route was bypassed in the 1960s when a more direct relationship between Waynesboro and Grove Hill was established.
