In 1976, Nevada began a renumbering of its state highways. In the route reassignment process, the portion of SR 10 concurrent with US 6 no longer carried a state highway number; the remainder of the highway north of Basalt became State Route 360. This action took place on July 1, 1976, and was first seen on state maps with the 1978 edition. [8] [9]
The following is a list of Interstate highways in the U.S. state of Nevada. All active mainline Interstates are maintained by the Nevada Department of Transportation, except for a portion of Interstate 215. Interstate business loops are only state-maintained where they overlap with an active State Route or U.S. route.
The southern terminus of the highway was moved 6 miles (9.7 km) east of Tonopah on US 6 by 1937. [7] SR 8A had become a paved highway throughout its entire length by 1950. [8] State Route 8A remained relatively unchanged for many years after it was paved. However, the route number was changed in the 1976 renumbering of Nevada
The following is a list of past and present U.S. Routes in the U.S. state of Nevada. All active mainline and alternate routes are maintained by the Nevada Department of Transportation. Some active special routes are maintained by local municipalities, and may not be signed on the route itself.
During the 1976 renumbering of Nevada's state highway system, the majority of Nevada's two-digit routes were eliminated. Most of the old two-digit routes were reassigned to one or more of the new three-digit highway numbers (State Routes 28, 88, and 140 were the only routes to keep their pre-1976 numbers).
The Nevada Department of Transportation approved the new highway numbers on July 1, 1976, with the route change first shown on the 1978–79 state highway map. [11] [12] The highways have remained unchanged since.
