State Route 294 (SR 294) is a state highway in Humboldt County, Nevada. It connects Winnemucca to the Grass Valley area south of the town.

Route description

View from the south end of SR 294 looking northbound

State Route 294 begins on Grass Valley Road at the Pershing–Humboldt county line. From there, the highway heads northward through the Grass Valley, passing through agricultural and rural residences of the greater Winnemucca area. After about 4 miles (6.4 km), the road turns more northeasterly to parallel the Union Pacific Railroad tracks.[2]

Development gradually increases near the highway as it parallels the railroad into the city limits. At an intersection with Hanson Street (SR 787), the route terminates, though the pavement continues to East Winnemucca Boulevard (SR 794/I-80 Business) as Haskell Street.[3]

History

SR 294 became a state highway on March 26, 1981,[4] at which point the route continued north past SR 787 to East Winnemucca Boulevard (SR 794/I-80 Business). This portion of the route was turned over to local control by 2017.[1]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Humboldt County.
