State Route 511 (SR 511) was a short state highway that followed West Washington Street in Carson City, Nevada. It has been removed from the state highway system.

Route description

The highway began at the intersection of West Washington Street and Ormsby Boulevard (SR 516) in a western residential area of Carson City. From there, the route followed the two-lane Washington Street eastward for 0.808 miles (1.300 km) to terminate at North Carson Street (U.S. Route 395 Business/SR 529).^[1][2]

History

State Route 511 was designated a state highway by 1983.^[3]

A proposal to transfer ownership of several state highways, including SR 511, to Carson City had surfaced by 2007. This action was taken to reduce the city's financial obligation to the Nevada Department of Transportation for constructing the Carson City Freeway (future Interstate 580).^[4] By January 2010, State Route 511 had been removed from the state highway system.^[5]
