In Buffalo, the business loop follows former U.S. 87 southbound and merges with U.S. 16 eastbound, avoiding downtown Buffalo entirely. This business loop is cosigned with Business Loop I-25 along the north-south section and with U.S. 16 on the east-west section.

Business Loop I-25 South, Business Loop I-90 East, Business U.S. 87 South
After departing from Interstate 90, the business route follows Main Street south from the freeway toward downtown Buffalo, crossing the city limits almost immediately. Buffalo is home to 3,900 people per the 2000 Census (and as posted on the city limits sign) and is 4,645 feet above sea level. Photo taken 09/01/04.
The first shield assembly on southbound (eastbound) Business Loop I-25, Business Loop I-90, and Business U.S. 87 features a "TO" banner above the Business Loop I-25 shield, even though the guide sign at the exit ramp from eastbound Interstate 90 does not indicate "TO." This further complicates where exactly where the northern terminus of Business Loop I-25 is ... and the best answer is that it has three possible end points: in downtown Buffalo at the northern U.S. 16 intersection, the Interstate 25 interchange with U.S. 16 (Exit 299), and the Business Loop I-25/Business Loop I-90 interchange with Interstate 90. Photo taken 09/01/04.
Southbound Business Loop I-25, Business Loop I-90, and Business U.S. 87 approach Airport Road, which travels northwest to the Johnson County/Buffalo Airport. To the southeast, Wyoming 196 follows the Buffalo Bypass south around downtown Buffalo. Wyoming 196 intersects with Business Loop I-25 again south of downtown. Photo taken 09/01/04.
About six blocks south of there, Business Loop I-25, Business Loop I-90, and Business U.S. 87 approach Junction U.S. 16 (Hart Street) east, which connects to both Interstate 25 and Interstate 90 before meeting U.S. 14 near Ucross. U.S. 16 west merges onto the business route southbound for a few blocks. Photo taken 09/01/04.
Upon reaching U.S. 16, this sign indicates that a left turn connects traffic to Interstate 25, while the business route continues straight ahead along Main Street toward downtown Buffalo. Business Loop I-90 turns left at this traffic signal onto eastbound U.S. 16 (East Hart Street). Photo taken 09/01/04.
Business Loop I-90 and U.S. 16 East
Now traveling east, Business Loop I-90 and U.S. 16 pass through a commercial strip between Business U.S. 87 and Interstate 25/U.S. 87. Most traveler services may be found here. Photo taken 09/01/04.
Eastbound Business Loop I-90 and U.S. 16 approach the junction with Interstate 25. Note the consistent signage of "To Interstate 25." This could be a reason to believe that Business Loop I-25 follows U.S. 16 east to rejoin Interstate 25 only a mile south of Interstate 90. Photo taken 09/01/04.
At the diamond interchange between Business Loop I-90/U.S. 16 and Interstate 25/U.S. 87, the first ramp along eastbound connects to southbound Interstate 25 en route to Casper and Cheyenne. Photo taken 09/01/04.
The following ramp connects to northbound Interstate 25/U.S. 87 to Interstate 90 west to Sheridan and east to Gillette. Photo taken 09/01/04.
These two shields are posted here for the connection to northbound Interstate 25 and U.S. 87. Business Loop I-90 and U.S. 16 continue east to connect with Interstate 90. Photo taken 09/01/04.
Business Loop I-90 and U.S. 16 West
On westbound Business Loop I-90 and U.S. 16, Hart Street is only signed for these two routes and not for Business Loop I-25. Continue straight ahead through the commercial strip. Photo taken 09/01/04.
Gas stations, fast foods, and motels line Hart Street between Interstate 25 and Business U.S. 87. Photo taken 09/01/04.
Now approaching Business U.S. 87, turn right to continue west on Business Loop I-90 and to return to Interstate 90. To downtown Buffalo and to the Cloud Peak Skyway over Powder River Pass, turn left (south) on Main Street via Business Loop I-25, Business U.S. 87, and U.S. 16. Photo taken 09/01/04.
Reaching Business Loop I-25 and Business U.S. 87 is this somewhat confusing sign. It correctly states that a turn in either direction will connect to Business U.S. 87, and the sign shows U.S. 16 turning south (left) at this intersection. However, the I-90 Business Loop is shown to turn left, toward downtown, even though Business Loop I-90 actually turns right here, as if to return back to its parent route. There are no reassurance shields for Business Loop I-90 to the south from here. Photo taken 09/01/04.
Business Loop I-25 North, Business Loop I-90 West, and Business U.S. 87 North
This is the shield assembly along northbound Main Street (westbound Business Loop I-90 and northbound Business U.S. 87) after the Hart Street intersection. Photo taken 09/01/04.
After the Airport Road and Wyoming 196 intersection, Business Loop I-90 is again signed as "To Interstate 90." The business route continues northwest to rejoin Interstate 90 and U.S. 87. Photo taken 09/01/04.
