Humboldt 110.113 Winnemucca to the Sea Highway

Nevada 140 History:

Nevada 140 was commissioned in the mid-1960s and kept its designation in the state route renumbering of 1976. The state highway used to begin in downtown Winnemucca, then followed a shared alignment with U.S. 95 to the current eastern terminus of Nevada 140. In 1979, Nevada 140 was truncated to its current routing, with no overlap with U.S. 95. As originally conceived, Nevada 140 followed the historic Winnemucca-to-the-Sea Highway, which starts at an eight-foot diameter redwood tree trunk in downtown Winnemucca (at the corner of Winnemucca Boulevard and Melarkey Street) and ends in Crescent City. Nevada 140 used to also begin at this point, then turn north with U.S. 95 to meet its current eastern terminus. The Winnemucca-to-the-Sea Highway follows U.S. 95, Nevada 140, Oregon 140, Interstate 5, and U.S. 199, ending at Crescent City.

Although Nevada 140 comes suspiciously close to the former routing of U.S. 40 and connects to Oregon 140, Nevada 140 was never commissioned or signed as U.S. 140. The real U.S. 140 has had two routings: in the mid- to late-1920s, U.S. 140 was located in New Jersey along modern New Jersey 540, and between the 1930s and 1960s, U.S. 140 ran from Baltimore, Maryland, northwest to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, via Maryland 140 and Pennsylvania 97. U.S. 140 does not exist today.

A little map research shows that in 1938, Oregon 140 was signed Oregon 66. Nevada 140 was signed Nevada 8A (one of about four discontinuous stretches of road to carry this designation). In 1965, we still had the same numbering situation (Oregon 66 and Nevada 8A). In 1967, Oregon 140 was commissioned, but there was still Nevada 8A. In 1968, the Highway 140 numbering was in both states. Highway 140 was likely commissioned to create more contiguous east-west routes for the southern part of Oregon and to provide access into the sparsely populated northwestern Nevada region. Note that Nevada 140 has been paved and well maintained since the late 1960s.

Clark 6.673 (18.963 in 1996) St. Rose Parkway; Lake Mead Drive (now Nevada 564)

Nevada 146 History:

In 1996, Nevada 146 was a much longer route. It extended from Interstate 15 Exit 27 east along Lake Mead Drive to the south boundary of the Lake Mead National Recreational Area via former Nevada 41.

In early 2001, Nevada 146 between Interstate 15 and Interstate 215 was renamed as St. Rose Parkway. In June 2002, with the extension of Interstate 215, Nevada 146 was curtailed to follow only St. Rose Parkway in order to avoid an overlap with Interstate 215, which was partially constructed on top of former Lake Mead Drive. This resulted in a reduction to the total route length to 6.673 miles as of the 2000 Route Log. The former segment of Nevada 146 east of Interstate 515 has been recommissioned as Nevada 564.
