U.S. 395 Business - Carson City
There are two sections of U.S. 395 Business posted in Nevada. The Carson City route runs along Carson Street north from Fairview Drive (U.S. 50) to I-580/U.S. 395 at Arrowhead Drive. This portion is locally maintained and only signed at William Street and Fairview Drive. When I-580 opens in August 2017 from Fairview South to South Carson Street, the remainder of U.S. 395 south from Fairview Avenue on Carson Street will shift onto the freeway. South Carson Street between the U.S. 50/395 merge and Fairview Avenue is state maintained and designated as Nevada State Route 529.

The Capitol was built in 1871, using a plot of land that was set aside when town planning for Carson City was underway in 1858. Additions to the Capitol were constructed in 1915.
