State Route 171 - Airport Connector

Nevada State Route 171

State Route 171 overlays the southernmost 0.693 miles of the Airport Connector, a limited-access spur that joins Interstate 215 (Bruce Woodbury Beltway) and Paradise Road to McCarran International Airport (LAS). Beginning at a trumpet interchange with I-215 (Exit 10), SR 171 travels northerly along the Airport Connector to a tunnel entrance under airport runways. From this point, airport authority assumes maintenance responsibility for the remainder of the connector to a pair of one way couplets for Paradise Road (south) and Swenson Street (north).

The entire Airport Connector, including the tunnel section, was completed and opened by 1994.
