Route description

I-15 BL begins along Utah State Route 13 (SR-13) at a diamond interchange on I-15/I-84 (exit 376) in Elwood. (I-15/I-84 heads north and west toward Tremonton, Riverside, and Snowville in Utah and then on to Malad City, Pocatello, and Twin Falls in Idaho.

From its southern terminus, I-15 BL proceeds north along North 5200 West, concurrent with I-84 BL/SR-13, to leave Elwood (at West 10400 North) and enter Tremonton, about 3500feet later (at about 400 South). Upon entering Tremonton, North 5200 West becomes South 1600 East. After reaching Haws Corner Junction at East Main Street, I-15 BL/I-84 BL turns to west (left) to run along Utah State Route 102 (SR-102/East Main Street) as they leave their concurrency with SR-13.

(I-84 Bus./SR-102 continues west to pass under I-15 and on to I-84. Iowa String Road [South 1000 West] heads south toward Utah State Route 83 and Corinne) Proceeding north again, I-15 Bus. runs along North 1000 West to pass by the east side of the fairgrounds and the Bear River Valley Hospital.

Immediately after passing the hospital, I-15 BL makes another left turn to proceed west on West 1000 North and pass by the north side of the hospital. (North 1000 West continues north toward Garland and West 1000 North continues east toward Garland and SR-13.) Continuing west on West 1000 North I-15 Bus. until finally reaches its northern terminus at another diamond interchange on I-15 (exit 381) on the northern edge of Tremonton.
