State Route 34 [1] is a decommissioned state highway in Nevada from prior to the state's highway restructuring in 1978. Today a portion of former SR 34 is maintained by the Washoe County as a county highway with the not well known designation CR 34. [2] [3] A portion of State Route 447 was formerly SR 34, [4] though the former SR 34 road bed is still used from Gerlach, Nevada to near Vya, Nevada. [5]
In the 1950s the pavement ended and became gravel [6] just past the sand dunes north of Nixon. In 1951, the pavement ended 9 miles south of Gerlach. [7] In 1953, the paving was still incomplete and State Route 81 from Gerlach to the California state line was not surfaced. [8] By 1956, the road was paved to Gerlach [9] [10] and State Route 81 was partly paved from Gerlach to the California State Line.
Before 1978 SR 34 followed present day SR 447 route, from Gerlach to Wadsworth, Nevada. [11]
