State Route 84A or what is known today as West Miracle Mile in Tucson, Arizona, was designated a state route for a decade in the mid-1950s to mid-1960s to connect State Route 84 to U.S. Route 80 and 89. This alternative route was used as an in-town route to connect the future freeway to downtown Tucson. When Interstate 10 in the Tucson area was being constructed, this route was the designation of Temporary I-10. After I-10 was built, this route was dropped from the state highway list and turned over to the City of Tucson. It is currently used by a different state route, SR 77.

Famous quotes containing the words state and/or route:
“It is almost never when a state of things is the most detestable that it is smashed, but when, beginning to improve, it permits men to breathe, to reflect, to communicate their thoughts with each other, and to gauge by what they already have the extent of their rights and their grievances. The weight, although less heavy, seems then all the more unbearable.”
—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
“no arranged terror: no forcing of image, plan,
or thought:
no propaganda, no humbling of reality to precept:
terror pervades but is not arranged, all possibilities
of escape open: no route shut,”
—Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
