State Route 342

Nevada State Route 342

Nevada 342 is the old route of Nevada 341 near Virginia City via Silver City, Gold Canyon, and Gold Hill. Prior the 1976 renumbering, Nevada 342 was designated as Nevada 80. This is the older and shorter route between Silver City and Gold Hill, but due to steep grades (especially at the north end), through traffic is advised to use Nevada 341 (former Nevada 17) over Occidental Grade. Along with Nevada 341, Nevada 342 is part of the Comstock Highway.
