Route description

The Nevada Department of Transportation headquarters on Stewart Street (former SR 520) in Carson City

State Route 520 began on the southern end of Carson City at a junction with South Carson Street (U.S. Route 395 Business/SR 529) across from the Carson Ranger District office of the U.S. Forest Service. The route turned north from this intersection, passing headquarters for the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles, Nevada Department of Public Safety, and Nevada Department of Transportation. Stewart Street runs parallel to the east side of Carson Street as it heads northward.[2][3]

As SR 520 crossed East Fifth Street (SR 513), it entered the downtown district. The 0.2-mile (0.32 km) stretch from Fifth Street to Musser Street forms the eastern border of the main state capitol complex. In this section, the route passed behind major state buildings such as the Nevada Legislature, the Supreme Court of Nevada, and the Nevada State Capitol. The same segment of road hosts other state institutions like the Nevada State Library and Archives and buildings for the Nevada Department of Education.[2]

Crossing over Musser Street, SR 520 moved into more commercial areas of the central city. Small businesses and parking lots line each side of Stewart Street. The route also passed behind a U.S. Department of the Interior building as it continued northward. State Route 520 reached its northern end at the intersection of East William Street (former SR 530) in the center of Carson City, although Stewart Street continued beyond the state highway terminus.[2][3]

History

State Route 520 became a signed state route when Nevada renumbered its state highways in 1976.[4] There have been no major changes to the route since its inception.

The route was removed from the state highway system by January 2011.[5]

Major intersections

The entire route was in Carson City.
