Route description

State Route 667 begins at its junction with South Virginia Street (U.S. Route 395 Business, former SR 430) in Reno and continues due north a few miles. Once passing Second Street (SR 648), SR 667 curves east to cross over the Truckee River and pass under US 395 to enter Sparks. From there, the route curves north again, passing under the Union Pacific railroad tracks and Interstate 80 to reach its northern terminus at Victorian Avenue (I-80 Business).

History

During the late 1970s, US 395 in Reno-Sparks was being upgraded to a freeway. By 1976, the new North–South Freeway, now signed as US 395, had been completed from the north of Reno down to East Second Street. To facilitate the connection with existing US 395 in south Reno, Temporary US 395 was designated by 1976. The temporary designation went west from the freeway terminus along East Second Street to Kietzke Lane, and then followed present-day State Route 667 south from East Second Street to South Virginia Street, where it intersected with US 395.[2] By 1982, the US 395 freeway had been completed to South Virginia Street, eliminating the Temporary designation on SR 667.[3]

As late as 2006, State Route 667 continued along Kietzke Lane south from South Virginia Street to its intersection with Neil Road. From there, the route turned east and followed Neil Road to connect with US 395 (unsigned I-580) before terminating at South Virginia Street (SR 430). As of 2008, this portion of State Route 667 has been removed from the state highway system; however, the portion of Neil Road under US 395 is currently maintained by Nevada DOT as a frontage road (FR WA 44).[1]

The Neil Road section of State Route 667 was previously known as Del Monte Lane. The name change was made in the mid 2000s to help eliminate confusion between "Del Monte" and "Damonte" (as in Damonte Ranch Parkway, another US 395 exit further south). The similar sounding names had been an issue for emergency personnel responding to incidents on or near US 395.

Major intersections

The route lies entirely within Washoe County.
