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:
“Whoever can discern truth has received his commission from a higher source than the chiefest justice in the world who can discern only law. He finds himself constituted judge of the judge. Strange that it should be necessary to state such simple truths!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“By whatever means it is accomplished, the prime business of a play is to arouse the passions of its audience so that by the route of passion may be opened up new relationships between a man and men, and between men and Man. Drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us to know more, and not merely to spend our feelings.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
