AASHTO's Special Committee on U.S. Route Numbering approved the new designation at their meeting on May 23, 2017, concurrently with a relocation of mainline US 93 to the alignment of the I-11 Boulder City Bypass then under construction. By 2019, after completion of the Boulder City Bypass, NDOT had officially designated the business route.Major intersections
