State Route 756 - Centerville Lane
SR 756 connects SR 88 (Woodfords Road) with the unincorporated town of Gardnerville and U.S. 395 via Centerville Lane in Carson Valley. The state route loops 3.98 miles east from Centerville Road along a stair stepped route north by the Gardnerville Ranchos community and across the East Fork of the Carson River.
Construction started on April 23, 2018 converted the intersection joining SR 88 with the west end of SR 756 (Centerville Lane) at Centerville into a roundabout. Costing $1 million, work on the 80-foot diameter roundabout wrapped up by Memorial Day weekend.1
