Business Loop Interstate 8 is a business loop route that diverges from Interstate 8 in El Centro, California to pass through the downtown area. Business Interstate 8 originates and terminates with I-8 and acts as a direct link to El Centro as I-8 bypasses the downtown area.
Business Interstate 8's path through El Centro traces roughly three sides of a rectangle with I-8 constituting the fourth side. BUS-8 begins at its western terminus with I-8 by going north along Imperial Avenue. When BUS-8 reaches the intersection of Adams Avenue it turns east along that road. Along this stretch, BUS-8 is joined by State Route 86 which approaches from the north along Imperial Ave, and by Imperial County Route S80 which approaches from the west along Adams Avenue. The three routes continue joined as Adams Avenue ends and turns south along Fourth Avenue where S80 then turns to continue east. BUS-8 and SR-86 continue south running concurrent until BUS-8 reaches its eastern terminus with I-8.[2]
Only the portion of BL-8 that runs concurrently with SR 86 is maintained by the state.[3] Along its concurrency with SR-86, BUS-8 is designated as part of the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail.[4]

Passing to the west of Yuma Quartermaster Depot State Historic Park, BL-8 goes through downtown Yuma as South Fourth Avenue, intersecting US 95 after several blocks. The business loop curves to the east as East 32nd Street, passing along the north side of Yuma International Airport and the south side of the Yuma Conservation Garden. East of the airport, BL-8 passes through less-developed areas of eastern Yuma before ending at I-8.[5]
