Former State Route 167 - Lakeshore Road

Nevada State Route 167

Nevada 167 formerly connected Nevada 147 in Lake Mead Recreational Area with Nevada 169 near Valley of Fire State Park along Northshore Road. With the entire in Lake Mead National Recreation Area, signs for the state route designation were removed since the road is maintained by the park service. Counting up as the road heads northward, the National Park Service uses brown mileposts with the suffix NS for Northshore Road.

Funded by the Federal Lands Highway Program Funds, a $13 million project improved and realigned three sections of Northshore Road from October 2008 to July 2009. The intersection with the Overton Beach turnoff was reconfigured, with Northshore Road realigned onto a gradual curve to improve the geometry. Northshore Road at the Valley of Fire Wash was straightened out to eliminate a nearly mile section of winding road. The new alignment was constructed 4,800 feet to the north of a replacement bridge over Valley of Fire Wash, and 1,600 feet to the south. A second new bridge was built across Echo Wash, with Northshore Road straightened out for 2,600 feet to the north and 3,000 feet to the south.1
