 Although US @-@ 89 follows the I @-@ 70 freeway from Sevier to Salina , the old alignment can still be driven , and is state @-@ maintained north of Elsinore as SR @-@ 258 , SR @-@ 118 ( which overlaps I @-@ 70 Business through Richfield ) , SR @-@ 24 , and US @-@ 50 . Both highways stay mainly in the west half of the Sevier River 's valley , with the faster I @-@ 70 / US @-@ 89 bypassing the communities that the surface road passes through . Just south of Salina , I @-@ 70 curves to the east , rising alongside Salina Creek , and US @-@ 89 exits into downtown Salina , where it rejoins its pre @-@ freeway alignment . US @-@ 50 overlaps US @-@ 89 between I @-@ 70 and Salina , following I @-@ 70 east and a separate alignment northwest from the area ; the short Interstate 70 Business also uses this roadway as a business spur from I @-@ 70 to the city . North of Salina , US @-@ 89 bypasses Redmond ( SR @-@ 256 follows the former route through the town ) and passes through <unk> to Gunnison , where it meets SR @-@ 28 and finally turns away from the Sevier River .
