State Route 795 (SR 795) is a short state highway in Humboldt County, Nevada, USA. One of Nevada's newest state routes, SR 795 primarily serves as a connector road north of Winnemucca.

Route description

SR 795 begins at a junction with U.S. Route 95 (US 95) about 2.5 miles (4.0 km) north of downtown Winnemucca. From this point, the route heads southeast, crossing the Humboldt River, to its terminus at State Route 289 about 1.6 miles (2.6 km) northeast of Winnemucca. SR 795, along with SR 289, provides an alternate and more direct connection between northern Humboldt County on US 95 and destinations east on Interstate 80.^[1]

History

Prior to becoming a state route in the late 1990s, SR 795 existed as a dirt road maintained by Humboldt County. The route historically served as a shortcut to Winnemucca and was experiencing increasing traffic volumes. The county worked with the Nevada Department of Transportation to bring the road to state highway standards and include it the state highway system.^[2] The newly constructed highway opened in early 1999, and was officially approved as SR 795 on May 1, 1999.^[3]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Humboldt County.
