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:
“Thus we steadily worship Mammon, both school and state and church, and on the seventh day curse God with a tintamar from one end of the Union to the other.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space—out of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
