Route description

State Route 290 begins at an intersection with US 95 approximately Template:Convert north of Winnemucca near the Santa Rosa Range. From the junction, the highway heads northeasterly through a valley known as Paradise Valley while paralleling Martin Creek, a fork of the Little Humboldt River. The road turns more northerly after about Template:Convert as it heads into the town of Paradise Valley.[1] Once inside the town, SR 290 turns east on Bridge Street to come to its northern terminus on a small bridge over Big Cottonwood Creek.[2]

History

File:Nevada 8B.svg
SR 290 was established as State Route 8B by 1932

SR 290 was originally numbered as State Route 8B.[3] SR 8B had been established as a graveled road by 1932, approximately following the alignment of the present-day highway.[4] The route was completely paved by 1940.[5] No major changes were made to State Route 8B during its existence. The route number remained active until the renumbering of Nevada's state highways that began on July 1, 1976.[6] SR 8B became the present-day State Route 290 in that process, a change first seen on the 1978–1979 version of the state's highway map.[7]
