I-84 was known as I-80N until May 1, 1980[2]. (The western I-76, branching off in Nebraska and going into Denver, was I-80S.)

Oregon

In the Portland metropolitan area, I-84 is sometimes referred to as the Banfield Freeway or simply "the Banfield", although the official name is the Banfield Expressway. The freeway is named after Thomas H. Banfield, chairman of the Oregon Transportation Commission from 1943-1950. The Portland metropolitan area is the urban area centered around Portland, Oregon and the Willamette River. ...


East of Pendleton, Oregon, I-84 traverses the infamous Cabbage Hill grade (a 6% grade). This grade is legendary for the fact that the westbound lanes switchback twice on its descent into Pendleton. Eastbound lanes feature what are the tightest curves on the Interstate system, even though those curves are on the uphill (eastbound) direction. This grade is also well known due to the fact that it features such a great distance between eastbound and westbound lanes, nearly 2 miles between directions of travel at points.

I-84 enters Utah near Snowville and proceeds diagonally to Tremonton where I-84 joins the route of Interstate 15. Just south, at Corinne, Utah, I-84 joins the route of the First Transcontinental Railroad which I-84 follows to the freeway's terminus. I-15/I-84 pass to the west of Ogden where I-84 separates from I-15 and follows the Weber River. As the freeway passes through Weber Canyon it also passes through several small farming communities, including Morgan, Utah where the Browning Arms Company headquarters can be seen from the freeway. Also visible in the canyon is Devil's Slide, an unusual rock formation just off the freeway. Farther up the canyon is the 1000 mile tree, planted by Union Pacific Railroad workers to mark 1000 miles from the railroad's origin in Omaha, Nebraska. The freeway ends at Echo, a near ghost town that before served as a stopover for the railroad, at a junction with Interstate 80. Also near the junction is Echo Reservoir and Echo Dam.

History

Columbia River Gorge and I-84 as seen from Crown Point, Oregon

After renumbering, I-84 violated the Interstate Highway Numbering Convention by being south of I-82. The Portland, Oregon segment of then-I-80N was proposed to run on the Mount Hood Freeway. Plans for this were officially dropped in 1978 after a successful Freeway revolt.
