U.S. Route 95 in Nevada - Route Description

Route Description

U.S. Route 95 enters Nevada near Cal-Nev-Ari in Clark County and heads north towards Railroad Pass, where it meets US 93. The two routes are then cosigned in the Las Vegas area and east of Henderson, Interstate 515 begins. I-515 is cosigned with US 93/95 for its entire route around eastern Las Vegas. The freeway then heads west into downtown Las Vegas, where it intersects Interstate 15. At the Spaghetti Bowl interchange, US 93 follows I-15 northbound and I-515 ends. US 95 heads west, then north at the Rainbow Curve. The freeway portion then ends and then it becomes a brief four-lane divided highway. US 95 exits Clark County and heads into eastern Nye County, where it briefly enters Esmeralda before meeting US 6 in Tonopah, back in Nye County. US 6/95 leave Tonopah heading west for 41 miles (66 km) until Coaldale, where US 6 splits west towards California and its western terminus in Bishop, California. US 95 then heads northwest towards Hawthorne and Schurz, where ALT U.S. 95 splits west towards US 50, providing an alternate route towards Carson City and Reno. US 95 itself goes north towards Fallon, where it intersects U.S. 50. US 95 meets Interstate 80 and US 95 Alternate about halfway between Lovelock and Fernley. The two routes then run concurrently for 95 miles (153 km) until reaching Winnemucca, where US 95 splits from I-80. North of Winnemucca, US 95 meets the eastern terminus of SR 140, which connects to Lakeview, Oregon (U.S. Route 395) and Klamath Falls, Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. U.S. 95 finally exits Nevada at McDermitt and heads into Oregon.
