'''U.S. Route 84''' ('''US&nbsp;84''') is an east–west<ref group=lower-alpha>US&nbsp;84 was signed north-south in parts of Colorado and New Mexico.</ref> [[United States Numbered Highway]] that started as a short [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]]–[[Alabama]] route in the original 1926 scheme. Later, in 1941, it had been extended all the way to [[Colorado]]. The highway's eastern terminus is a short distance east of [[Midway, Georgia]], at an [[Interchange (road)|Interchange]] with [[Interstate 95 in Georgia|I-95]]. The road continues toward the nearby [[Atlantic Ocean]] as a county road. Its western terminus is in [[Pagosa Springs, Colorado]], at an intersection with [[U.S. Route 160 in Colorado|US&nbsp;160]].<ref name="termini">{{cite web|url=http://usends.com/84.html|title=End of US highway 84|publisher=USEnds.com|access-date=October 9, 2014}}</ref>

The section from [[Brunswick, Georgia]], to [[Roscoe, Texas]], has been designated by five state legislatures as part of the El Camino East–West Corridor. The designation was in recognition of its history as a migration route from the Atlantic coast to the present [[Mexico–United States border|Mexican border]], one of the routes that [[Spanish North America|Spanish settlers]] called ''[[Old San Antonio Road|El Camino Real]]''. (In [[Louisiana]], the route was called the [[Harrisonburg Road]].)

[[File:84-160Jct.JPG|thumb|Northern terminus at US 160 in Pagosa Springs, CO]]

The northern terminus of US&nbsp;84, [[Pagosa Springs, Colorado]], was made famous by [[C. W. McCall]] in the 1975 song and album ''[[Wolf Creek Pass (album)|Wolf Creek Pass]]''.<ref name="Truck News Wolf Creek Pass">{{cite web|title=Facebook post proves why you should 'Beware The Wolf'|url=http://www.truckersnews.com/facebook-post-proves-why-you-should-beware-the-wolf/|website=Truckers News|date=July 15, 2017|access-date=September 1, 2017}}</ref> US&nbsp;84 actually ends approximately {{convert|1|mi|km|spell=in}} east of downtown Pagosa Springs at a T-intersection with [[U.S. Route 160|US&nbsp;160]] (Main Street).

South of Pagosa Springs, the {{convert|28|mi|km}} of the Colorado section of US&nbsp;84 pass through a portion of [[San Juan National Forest]]. The highway climbs Confar Hill, a drainage divide between the [[Rio Blanco (Colorado)|Rio Blanco]] and [[Navajo River]], before descending into the village of [[Chromo, Colorado|Chromo]] and passing into [[New Mexico]].

===New Mexico===
{{Main|U.S. Route 84 in New Mexico}}
US&nbsp;84 enters [[Rio Arriba County, New Mexico]], {{convert|28|mi|km}} south of its terminus at US&nbsp;160. About {{convert|6|mi|km|spell=in}} south of the [[Colorado]]–New Mexico state line, [[U.S. Route 64|US&nbsp;64]] comes from the west and [[Concurrency (road)|runs concurrently]] with US&nbsp;84 for the next {{convert|28|mi|km}}. Only {{convert|3|mi|km|spell=in}} east of this intersection, the concurrency crosses the [[Continental Divide]] at Sargent Pass, elevation {{convert|7718|ft|m}} above sea level or more than {{convert|3100|ft|m}} lower than Wolf Creek Pass, the next Continental Divide highway pass to the north. Therefore, only {{convert|37|mi|km}} of US&nbsp;84 are located west of the Continental Divide. About {{convert|12|mi|km}} east of the intersection, US&nbsp;64/US&nbsp;84 enters the town of [[Chama, New Mexico|Chama]]. At a T-intersection, [[New Mexico State Road 17]] enters from the north and terminates at said intersection, while US&nbsp;64 and US&nbsp;84 enter from the south and west.

After heading south from Chama, US&nbsp;64 and US&nbsp;84 combine for about {{convert|14|mi|km}} to Tierra Amarilla, where US&nbsp;64 departs from US&nbsp;84 and heads southeast, while US&nbsp;84 continues south. About {{convert|57|mi|km}} down the road, US&nbsp;84 is joined by [[U.S. Route 285|US&nbsp;285]] south of the small community of [[Chili, New Mexico|Chili]]. About {{convert|5|mi|km|spell=in}} further, US&nbsp;84/US&nbsp;285 enters the city of [[Española, New Mexico|Española]] from the north as North Paseo de Onate Street. At the south end of the town, US&nbsp;84/US&nbsp;285 becomes the Santa Fe Highway and an expressway. About {{convert|9|mi|km|spell=in}} further, US&nbsp;84/US&nbsp;285 becomes a [[Limited-access road|limited-access freeway]]. Another {{convert|15|mi|km}} further south, the two return to surface street status, and then travel past downtown [[Santa Fe, New Mexico|Santa Fe]] via St. Francis Drive. On the south side of Santa Fe at [[Interstate 25|I-25]]'s exit 282A, US&nbsp;84/US&nbsp;285 merges with northbound I-25/[[U.S. Route 85|US&nbsp;85]]. The freeway heads east and slightly to the south to avoid the [[Sangre de Cristo Mountains]]. Just before turning north, US&nbsp;285 exits the freeway at exit&nbsp;290 and continues south. After winding north and south, the freeway finally begins heading solely north, and US&nbsp;84 exits about {{convert|55|mi|km}} later at exitv339 near [[Romeroville, New Mexico|Romeroville]] and travels in an east/southeast direction, while I-25/US&nbsp;85 continues north to Colorado. Following a path southeast and then south for {{convert|42|mi|km}}, US&nbsp;84 merges with [[Interstate 40|I-40]] (and Historic [[U.S. Route 66|US&nbsp;66]]) at I-40's exit&nbsp;256. After {{convert|17|mi|km}} I-40/US&nbsp;84 enters [[Santa Rosa, New Mexico|Santa Rosa]]. About {{convert|21|mi|km}} from its confluence with I-40, US&nbsp;84 diverges at exit&nbsp;277.

The highway then travels south/southeast for {{convert|42|mi|km}} until merging with [[U.S. Route 60|US&nbsp;60]] in downtown [[Fort Sumner, New Mexico|Fort Sumner]]. From the intersection with US&nbsp;60, US&nbsp;60/US&nbsp;84 travels east, passing through [[Taiban, New Mexico|Taiban]] and [[Melrose, New Mexico|Melrose]] before intersecting [[U.S. Route 70|US&nbsp;70]] after {{convert|61|mi|km}} in [[Clovis, New Mexico|Clovis]]. From the intersection with US&nbsp;70, US&nbsp;60/US&nbsp;70/US&nbsp;84 travels east {{convert|8.7|mi|km}} entering [[Texico, New Mexico|Texico]]. Here, about {{convert|280|ft|m}} before the [[Texas]]–New Mexico state line, US&nbsp;60 splits from US&nbsp;70/US&nbsp;84 as US&nbsp;70/US&nbsp;84 continues east into [[Farwell, Texas]].<ref>Google Maps ©2009, Tele Atlas{{full|date=November 2022}}</ref>  Despite being an east-west route, US&nbsp;84 is signed north-south between Fort Sumner and the Colorado state line.

===Texas===

{{Unreferenced section|date=October 2014}}
[[File:Freight train near Shallowater Texas.jpg|thumb| BNSF freight train running parallel to US&nbsp;84 while crossing the Llano Estacado]]
[[File:Avenue Q in Lubbock, TX IMG 0195.JPG|right|thumb|US&nbsp;84 in Lubbock along Avenue Q, a major downtown thoroughfare]]
US&nbsp;70/US&nbsp;84 crosses into [[Texas]] at [[Farwell, Texas|Farwell]]. After passing through Farwell, US&nbsp;70/US&nbsp;84 veers to the southeast, continuing concurrently until [[Muleshoe, Texas|Muleshoe]]. From Muleshoe, US&nbsp;70 leaves the route, while US&nbsp;84 continues on a southeasterly direction across the level plains of the [[Llano Estacado]]. Along this stretch, US&nbsp;84 travels parallel to the [[BNSF Railway]], crosses a sandy section called the Muleshoe Dunes, and then passes [[Littlefield, Texas|Littlefield]], the birthplace of country singer [[Waylon Jennings]]. US&nbsp;84 continues in a southeasterly direction through cotton fields and small towns such as [[Anton, Texas|Anton]] and [[Shallowater, Texas|Shallowater]], eventually entering [[Lubbock, Texas|Lubbock]], the largest city in the [[South Plains]] and the birthplace of [[Buddy Holly]]. Signed as Avenue Q, US&nbsp;84 passes through the heart of downtown Lubbock before making a sharp easterly turn on the southeast side of the city, where it is known as the Slaton Highway. After bypassing the town of [[Slaton, Texas|Slaton]], US&nbsp;84 makes another gentle turn to the east, following a generally southeasterly heading through [[Post, Texas|Post]], [[Snyder, Texas|Snyder]], and [[Roscoe, Texas|Roscoe]], where it merges with [[Interstate 20|I-20]].

[[File:US Route 84 sign near Snyder, TX IMG 1760.JPG|right|thumb|US&nbsp;84 sign north of [[Snyder, Texas|Snyder]]]]

From this point, US&nbsp;84 follows I-20, [[Unsigned highway|unsigned]], until [[Abilene, Texas|Abilene]], where it leaves the Interstate, making a hard southerly turn and forming the western side of a three-quarter loop around the city (along with [[U.S. Route 83|US&nbsp;83]] and [[U.S. Route 277|US&nbsp;277]]). From the south side of Abilene, US&nbsp;84 continues concurrently with US&nbsp;83 until the two highways split about {{convert|2|mi|km|spell=in}} northeast of [[Tuscola, Texas|Tuscola]], and though still signed as east–west, maintains a due north–south heading. US&nbsp;84 makes a gentle turn back to the southeast at [[Lawn, Texas|Lawn]], following this bearing until [[Santa Anna, Texas|Santa Anna]], where it merges with [[U.S. Route 67|US&nbsp;67]] and takes a more due easterly turn.

US&nbsp;84 merges with [[U.S. Route 183|US&nbsp;183]] at [[Brownwood, Texas|Brownwood]] and once again turns to the southeast. The highway continues concurrently until [[Goldthwaite, Texas|Goldthwaite]], where it leaves US&nbsp;183 and yet again makes a sharp turn to the east. It follows this heading all the way to [[McGregor, Texas|McGregor]]. From McGregor, the highway makes a turn to the northeast to [[Woodway, Texas|Woodway]]; this stretch of US&nbsp;84 is also signed as the George W. Bush Parkway. US&nbsp;84 then crosses into [[Waco, Texas|Waco]], going past the downtown area along Waco Drive and then northeast into the suburb of [[Bellmead, Texas|Bellmead]]. After a brief concurrency with [[Texas State Highway 31|State Highway&nbsp;31]] (SH&nbsp;31) through Bellmead, US&nbsp;84 continues fairly due east passing through [[Mexia, Texas|Mexia]]. Then at [[Teague, Texas|Teague]], it takes yet another turn to the north before turning back to the east at an intersection with [[Interstate 45|I-45]] in [[Fairfield, Texas|Fairfield]].

US&nbsp;84 merges with [[U.S. Route 79|US&nbsp;79]] and makes another northerly turn southwest of [[Palestine, Texas|Palestine]]. The highway splits from US&nbsp;79 just southwest of downtown before making another turn eastward and passing through town. It follows a gentle northeasterly path all the way to [[Timpson, Texas|Timpson]], passing through the towns of [[Maydelle, Texas|Maydelle]]; [[Rusk, Texas|Rusk]], where it intersects with [[U.S. Route 69|US&nbsp;69]]; [[Reklaw, Texas|Reklaw]]; [[Mount Enterprise, Texas|Mount Enterprise]], where it intersects [[U.S. Route 259|US&nbsp;259]]; and [[Timpson, Texas|Timpson]], where it merges with [[U.S. Route 59|US&nbsp;59]] and serves as the northern terminus of [[Texas State Highway 87|SH&nbsp;87]]. From Timpson to [[Tenaha, Texas|Tenaha]], it briefly runs concurrently with US&nbsp;59 until its intersection with [[U.S. Route 96|US&nbsp;96]]. From this point, US&nbsp;84 continues its easterly path through to rest of eastern Texas, passing through [[Joaquin, Texas|Joaquin]] before crossing into Louisiana across the [[Sabine River (Texas–Louisiana)|Sabine River]] into the town of [[Logansport, Louisiana|Logansport]].

[[File:Abandoned US 84.jpg|thumb|Abandoned section of US&nbsp;84 east of [[Jena, Louisiana]]]]
Once the highway leaves Logansport, it travels through [[Stanley, Louisiana|Stanley]] and then northeast into [[Mansfield, Louisiana|Mansfield]], where it merges for a brief stretch with [[U.S. Route 171|US&nbsp;171]]. It continues east, crossing under [[Interstate 49|I-49]], until it reaches [[Grand Bayou, Red River Parish, Louisiana|Grand Bayou]], where it turns to the southeast, merging with [[Louisiana Highway&nbsp;1]] (LA&nbsp;1). After approximately {{convert|2|mi|km|spell=in}}, it turns back again to the east, where it merges with [[U.S. Route 71|US&nbsp;71]] in [[Coushatta, Louisiana|Coushatta]] and stays with that highway until [[Clarence, Louisiana|Clarence]]. It then heads northeast towards [[Winnfield, Louisiana|Winnfield]], where it merges for a short time with [[U.S. Route 167|US&nbsp;167]]. It turns to the northeast towards [[Joyce, Louisiana|Joyce]], then begins a long stretch to the southeast, passing through [[Tullos, Louisiana|Tullos]], where it intersects [[U.S. Route 165|US&nbsp;165]], through the parish seat of [[Jena, Louisiana|Jena]], and continues in that direction until it crosses into [[Catahoula Parish, Louisiana|Catahoula Parish]]. It bears east through [[Jonesville, Louisiana|Jonesville]] until [[Ferriday, Louisiana|Ferriday]], where it merges with [[U.S. Route 425|US&nbsp;425]]. It then heads southeast through [[Vidalia, Louisiana|Vidalia]] where it crosses the [[Mississippi River]] into [[Natchez, Mississippi]].

===Mississippi===
{{Attached KML|from=U.S. Route 84 in Mississippi}}
The four-lane [[Natchez–Vidalia Bridge]], crossing the Mississippi River, carries US&nbsp;84 and US&nbsp;425 into Natchez. Here, it merges with [[U.S. Route 61|US&nbsp;61]], which marks the southern terminus of US&nbsp;425. It then travels approximately {{convert|4|mi|km|spell=in}} to the northeast where it reaches the western terminus of [[U.S. Route 98 in Mississippi|US&nbsp;98]] at [[Washington, Mississippi|Washington]], where it is paired with US&nbsp;98 until [[Bude, Mississippi|Bude]] and [[Meadville, Mississippi|Meadville]]. The road continues east, crossing under [[Interstate 55|I-55]] and heads east towards [[Collins, Mississippi|Collins]]. US&nbsp;84 travels concurrently with [[Interstate 59|I-59]] for a short distance through [[Laurel, Mississippi|Laurel]]. It then heads east to [[Waynesboro, Mississippi|Waynesboro]] and continues to the Alabama state line.

===Alabama===
{{Unreferenced section|date=October 2014}}
{{main|U.S. Route 84 in Alabama}}
In Alabama, US 84 is paired with unsigned State Route&nbsp;12 (SR&nbsp;12). Parts of the route have been widened in recent years to four-lane status. The most significant exist from [[River Falls, Alabama|River Falls]] eastward to [[Andalusia, Alabama|Andalusia]], near [[Opp, Alabama|Opp]] where a recent bypass of the downtown area now carries US&nbsp;84 in a southern arc around the town, and from [[Enterprise, Alabama|Enterprise]] eastward thru [[Daleville, Alabama|Daleville]] and on to the [[Dothan, Alabama|Dothan]] area and then the Georgia state line at the [[Chattahoochee River]] in [[Saffold, Georgia|Saffold]].

US 84 has brief stretches concurrent with other US Highways in Alabama. US&nbsp;84 shares a routing with [[U.S. Route 31|US&nbsp;31]] from just southwest of [[Evergreen, Conecuh County, Alabama|Evergreen]] to a few miles east of town. It briefly shares a routing with [[U.S. Route 29|US&nbsp;29]] in the city of Andalusia. It also shares a routing with [[U.S. Route 331|US&nbsp;331]] near Opp. At Dothan, US&nbsp;84 shares a concurrency with [[U.S. Route 231|US&nbsp;231]] and [[U.S. Route 431|US&nbsp;431]] on the [[Ross Clark Circle]] which is the circular bypass of downtown.

US&nbsp;84 crosses three major navigable waterways in Alabama. They are the [[Tombigbee River]] at [[Coffeeville, Alabama|Coffeeville]], the [[Alabama River]] at [[Claiborne, Alabama|Claiborne]], and the Chattahoochee River at the Alabama–Georgia state line. US&nbsp;84 passes through Enterprise and Daleville which are both very near [[Fort Novosel]] which is the [[United States Army]]'s helicopter training school. Most of US&nbsp;84 in Alabama traverses the [[Gulf Coastal Plain]] which is relatively lowlying land with some sand content. The area is heavily agricultural with little heavy industry. Dothan is the largest city in Alabama traversed by US 84 and it is the business and agricultural center of [[Southeast Alabama]]. The area is commonly referred to as the [[Wiregrass Region]].

===Georgia===
{{main|U.S. Route 84 in Georgia}}
[[File:End US 84 GA 38 Sign in Midway GA.JPG|thumb|End US&nbsp;84/SR&nbsp;38 sign at I-95 east of Midway, Georgia]] After entering Georgia from [[Alabama]] west of [[Jakin, Georgia]], the route travels through the southern portion of the state, meeting its eastern terminus at [[Interstate 95|I-95]] east of [[Midway, Georgia|Midway]]. US&nbsp;84 through Georgia is also known as the Wiregrass Georgia Parkway. After entering the state from Alabama, US&nbsp;84 travels east to [[Donalsonville]] to [[Bainbridge, Georgia|Bainbridge]]. The routes travels around the city to the south to a [[freeway]] bypass, cosigned with [[U.S. Route 27|US&nbsp;27]]/[[Georgia State Route 1|SR&nbsp;1]]. The route continues east through [[Cairo, Georgia|Cairo]] to [[Thomasville, Georgia|Thomasville]], where it bypasses downtown to the north and east, cosigned with [[U.S. Route 319|US&nbsp;319]], then US&nbsp;19/SR&nbsp;3/SR&nbsp;300. The route continues east to [[Quitman, Georgia|Quitman]], where it becomes cosigned with [[U.S. Route 221|US&nbsp;221]] east, past its interchange with [[Interstate 75|I-75]], to [[Valdosta, Georgia|Valdosta]]. In Valdosta, US&nbsp;221 departs, and US&nbsp;84 continues east-northeast to [[Waycross, Georgia|Waycross]], where it is briefly cosigned with [[U.S. Route 1|US&nbsp;1]], [[U.S. Route 23|US&nbsp;23]], and [[U.S. Route 82|US&nbsp;82]]. US&nbsp;84 continues northeast from Waycross, passing through [[Blackshear, Georgia|Blackshear]] before arriving in [[Jesup, Georgia|Jesup]]. In Jesup, the route becomes cosigned with [[U.S. Route 25|US&nbsp;25]] and [[U.S. Route 301|US&nbsp;301]] northeast to [[Ludowici, Georgia|Ludowici]]. In Ludowici, US&nbsp;25/US&nbsp;301 departs to the northwest, and US&nbsp;84 continues northeast to [[Hinesville, Georgia|Hinesville]]. In Hinesville, the route becomes cosigned with [[Georgia State Route 196|SR&nbsp;196]] and takes a turn to the east. After a short distance, SR&nbsp;196 departs, and US&nbsp;84/SR&nbsp;38 continues east to its eastern terminus at exit 76 on I-95 east of Midway.

==History==
When originally designated in 1926, US&nbsp;84 was a much shorter route spanning {{convert|281|mi|km}} from [[Dothan, Alabama]], to [[Brunswick, Georgia]].<ref name="AASHO 1927">{{cite book |title=United States Numbered Highways, Selected by American Association of State Highway Officials, Approved by United States Department of Agriculture |publisher=[[American Association of State Highway Officials]] |pages=22–23 |date=1927}}</ref>  In 1934, the highway was extended west to [[Farwell, Texas]], before its subsequent extension northwest into Colorado. (According to maps and documents held at the [[Alabama Department of Transportation]] library in [[Montgomery, Alabama|Montgomery]], the section between [[Natchez, Mississippi]], and [[Wagarville, Alabama]] had been planned as '''US&nbsp;86''' the year before.){{citation needed|date=October 2017}}

===Louisiana===
Throughout Louisiana, US&nbsp;84 was largely aligned with the existing [[Louisiana State Route 6|SR&nbsp;6]]. The major exception was the portion west of [[Clarence, Louisiana|Clarence]], where SR&nbsp;6 followed a more southern path from the Texas line through [[Natchitoches, Louisiana|Natchitoches]].  Additionally, US&nbsp;84 took advantage of a shorter route between [[Winnfield, Louisiana|Winnfield]] and [[Jena, Louisiana|Jena]] that passed through [[Tullos, Louisiana|Tullos]] rather than [[Olla, Louisiana|Olla]].<ref name="LDH 1935">{{cite LADOTD map |date=1935 |link=y}}</ref>  The only major realignment since 1934 occurred about 1955 when an improved road was opened between Mansfield and Coushatta that passed through [[Grand Bayou, Red River Parish, Louisiana|Grand Bayou]] rather than [[Evelyn, Louisiana|Evelyn]].<ref name="LDH 1953">{{cite LADOTD map |date=1953 |link=y}}</ref><ref name="LDH 1955">{{cite LADOTD map |date=1955}}</ref>  That year, the state highway designations co-signed with US&nbsp;84 were discontinued as part of the [[1955 Louisiana Highway renumbering]].<ref name="LDH 1955"/>

===Mississippi–Alabama===
Upon its extension, US&nbsp;84 originally looped southeast on [[U.S. Route 45|US&nbsp;45]] from [[Waynesboro, Mississippi|Waynesboro]] to [[State Line, Mississippi]], then east along [[Alabama State Route 56|SR&nbsp;56]] to [[Wagarville, Alabama]], and back to the northeast via [[U.S. Route 43|US&nbsp;43]] to [[Grove Hill, Alabama|Grove Hill]]. This route was bypassed in the 1960s when a more direct connection between Waynesboro and Grove Hill was established.

===Georgia===
US&nbsp;84's original eastern end was in [[Brunswick, Georgia|Brunswick]], most lately at an intersection with [[U.S. Route 25|US&nbsp;25]] in the city's center. In 1988, Georgia requested to swap US&nbsp;84 and [[U.S. Route 82|US&nbsp;82]] east of [[Waycross, Georgia|Waycross]] to "provide better directional continuity for both routes". A bypass of Waycross was under construction at the time, and the swap also allowed it to carry a single co-designation of US&nbsp;1, US&nbsp;23, and US&nbsp;82.<ref>{{cite web |title=An Application from the State Highway or Transportation Department of Georgia for the Relocation of U.S. Routes 82 and 84 |url=https://na4.visualvault.com/app/AASHTO/Default/documentviewer?DhID=0a1e9b25-06d5-ea11-a98a-ff9beffbfef8&hidemenu=true |date=18 October 1988}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Sanderson |first1=Dale |title=US hwy ends in Midway, GA |url=https://www.usends.com/midway.html |website=US Ends .com |language=en}}</ref>
