Nevada
In Nevada, the highway enters on county roads west of Ibapah, Utah. At Alternate U.S. Route 93, the Lincoln Highway turned south, passing through McGill to Ely. From Ely to Fallon, it followed U.S. Route 50. A shortcut is now Nevada State Route 722 between Austin and Middlegate.
West of Fallon, the Sierra Nevada Northern Route followed Alternate US Route 50 to Fernley, then old US 40 (paralleling I-80) through Reno to Verdi, Nevada on the California state line.
To get to Carson City from Reno, the current routing of US 395 was used.
The Sierra Nevada Southern Route continued down US Route 50 from Fallon through Carson City then up King's Canyon Grade, over Spooner Summit, and around the south end of Lake Tahoe to Stateline, Nevada on the California state line.
