The following is a list of state routes in Nevada shorter than one mile (1.6 km) in length. Most of these highways are short state-maintained sections of longer urban streets, old alignments of more prominent highways, or connectors between one or more highways.

List of highways

State Route 171

The Harry Reid Airport Connector is a limited-access roadway system located in Paradise, an unincorporated town in the Las Vegas Valley, Clark County, Nevada, United States. Composed of State Route 171 (SR 171), the Airport Tunnel and arterial streets, the airport connector provides vehicular access to the passenger terminals at McCarran International Airport. Despite being completely owned by Clark County, the first 0.685 miles (1.102 km) of the McCarran Airport Connector is maintained by NDOT as unsigned SR 171, while the remaining section is maintained by Clark County.

State Route 224

Between July 1976 and 1993, State Route 224 (SR 224) was concurrent with Interstate 80 Business (BL-80) in Nevada. BL-80 is an unofficial business loop of Interstate 80 (I-80) that is 2.26 miles (3.64 km) long and serves as the main street for the US cities of West Wendover, Nevada, and Wendover, Utah, along a roadway named Wendover Boulevard. Wendover Boulevard was originally part of U.S. Route 40 (US 40), which connected California to New Jersey via Nevada and Utah. A portion of the Nevada segment is concurrent with U.S. Route 93 Alternate (US 93 Alt.), and the entire portion in Utah is coterminous with State Route 58. The Nevada Department of Transportation (Nevada DOT) applied for the business loop designation in the early 1980s but the designation has never been approved; nevertheless, signs are posted in both states.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “wikimedia list article” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q104902684. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1976 and 1993.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
