Location<\/strong>: Hammett Hill Rd and I-84, Elmore Cty<\/p>\n

As of 2018, this is the new eastern terminus of SH-78, which has eaten the west half of former I-84 Business. The eastern portion of I-84 business is no longer a state highway. There isn’t actually a connection to US 30, but for whatever reason ITD decided to sign old I-84 Business as “US 30” before relinquishing it. US 30 officially still lives very comfortably up on the interstate.<\/p>\n
