Virginia Street in Reno the main north/south arterial road through the city.  The corridor had been assigned as part of Nevada State Routes 3 and 9 in 1929.  Virginia Street would become a component of US Route 395 by 1934.  Virginia Street is associated with many of the historic structures in Reno such as the Washoe County Courthouse, the numerous iterations of the Truckee River Bridge and the Reno Arches.  The corridor of Virigina Street began to be designated as US Route 395 Business beginning 1972 in the run up to the early segments of the North/South Freeway opening to traffic.
