History
Prior to the construction of I-11, US 93 Bus. had existed as the main route US 93 between Arizona and Las Vegas through Boulder City.
The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) sent a request to the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) to create US 93 Bus. in 2017. AASHTO's Special Committee on U.S. Route Numbering approved the new designation at their meeting on May 23, 2017, concurrently with a relocation of mainline US 93 to the alignment of the I-11 Boulder City Bypass then under construction.[3] By 2019, after completion of the Boulder City Bypass, NDOT had officially designated the business route.[1]
