History

Nevada 1.svg
US 40.svg
SR 396 originated as part of State Route 1, which later became US 40.

SR 396 was originally part of State Route 1 (SR 1). [3] That route, designated with the passage of Nevada's first highway law in 1917, created a highway route across northern Nevada from California to Utah which passed through Lovelock. [4] With the adoption of the U.S. Highway System in 1926,[ citation needed ] US 40 was eventually added concurrently with SR 1. [3] [5]

With the advent of the Interstate Highway system, Interstate 80 (I-80) gradually replaced US 40 across northern Nevada and was removed from Lovelock by 1976. [6] Also around this time, the Nevada Department of Transportation was beginning to renumber its highways, eliminating the State Route 1 designation and redesignating the Lovelock portion on Cornell Avenue and Upper Valley Road as State Route 396. [3] Even though the cross-state designations of US 40 and SR 1 had been eliminated by the mid-1970s, construction of the Interstate 80 freeway in Lovelock was not started until 1981, so through traffic continued to use SR 396 in the city. [7]

Airport Road appears on maps as early as 1954, although it was not assigned a state highway number at the time. [8] The road was assigned to State Route 856 on July 1, 1976. [3]

The BL-80 designation was assigned in 2000.[ citation needed ]
