U.S. Route 50 Alternate (US 50A) is an east-west bannered route of U.S. Route 50 in Nevada. The western terminus of the route is at U.S. 50 and U.S. Route 95 Alternate in Silver Springs. The eastern terminus is at U.S. 50, in Massie, Nevada.
Route description
From Silver Springs, U.S. 50 Alternate is cosigned with US 95 Alternate north to Fernley. At the center of town, SR 427 heads west on old US 40 towards I-80 and Wadsworth, while US 50A and US 95A turn east to the former split of the Victory (US 95A, ex-US 40) and Lincoln (US 50A and US 50) Highways. East of Fernley, US 50 Alternate proceeds to the southeast to an intersection with U.S. 50, nine miles (14 km) west of Fallon. SR 828 is an old alignment just east of Fernley.
The two legs of U.S. 50A and the main line route form a convert|50|mi|km|0 triangle in the Nevada desert.
