Nevada State Route 530
highway in Nevada
State Route 530 (SR 530) was a 1.464-mile-long (2.356 km) state highway in Carson City, Nevada. It followed a portion of William Street and was formerly signed as part of U.S. Route 50 (and U.S. Route 395 temporarily). The route was turned over to local control in 2010.
Route description
SR 530 began near downtown Carson City at the intersection of Carson Street (US 395 Bus./SR 529) and William Street. From there, the route followed William Street east to its eastern terminus at a freeway interchange with US 50 and US 395 at the Carson City Bypass east of the city near Lompa Lane.
History
US 395 was routed onto William Street with the completion of phase 1 of the Carson City Bypass in 2006. That concurrency was removed in September 2009 when phase 2A of the bypass opened to traffic.
In 2009, a plan was developed that would reduce Carson City's financial contribution towards the construction of the Carson City Bypass (future Interstate 580) in exchange for the Nevada Department of Transportation relinquishing some state-maintained highways to the city. The proposal, modeled after a similar 2008 deal, included the former Highway 50. State Route 530 was deleted from the state highway system on June 24, 2010.

Why this record matters

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 May 7, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q887637. Authority coordinates are 39.167, -119.761. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2010, 2006, 2009 and 2008.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
