Interstate 580 (abbreviated I-580) in Nevada is an unsigned Interstate highway. Currently, I-580 runs concurrently with the current U.S. Route 395 in Reno, for approximately 5 miles between Interstate 80 and Neil Road State Route 667.[1] The highway is known as the North-South Freeway and the Martin L.

History

Development of the I-580/US 395 freeway has been in planning in since 1957, but significant construction did not occur until over a decade later. Below is a timeline of the opening dates of the current freeway segments that are or will be part of I-580.[2] Year 1957 (MCMLVII) was a common year starting on Tuesday (link displays the 1957 Gregorian calendar). ...

  • 1964-1970: Washoe Valley - Washoe County/Carson City line to Winters Ranch (near junction SR-429)
  • 1973: Reno - Panther Valley (north of Reno) to Glendale Avenue (Only I-80 to Glendale Avenue will be included in the future I-580.)
  • 1980: Reno - Glendale Avenue to South Virginia Street (at Exit 63 half-interchange)
  • 1983: Reno - South Virginia Street to South Virginia Street (at Exit 61)
  • 1983-1998: Reno - South Virginia Street to Mount Rose Highway
  • 2006: Carson City - North Carson Street to East William Street (US 50)

Washoe County is a county located in the state of Nevada. ...

Future

I-580 is being built and designated in multiple sections. The existing US 395 freeway between Neil Road and Mount Rose Highway will eventually carry the I-580 designation. From there, I-580 will continue south to the Washoe Valley section on a new freeway alignment. At the southern end of the Washoe Valley segment, I-580 will be designated along the new Carson City Freeway to its terminus at the US 50/US 395 junction south of Carson City. I-580 is slated to be completed in 2010. This U.S. Highway article needs to be cleaned up to conform to both a higher standard of article quality and accepted design standards outlined in the WikiProject U.S. Highways. ... This article does not cite any references or sources. ...


Much of the future I-580 will be co-signed with US 395 and US 50 in Carson City. It is unclear at this time whether US 395 will be rerouted to the new I-580 freeway through Pleasant Valley.


I-580 Freeway Extension Project

North of Washoe Lake (Washoe Valley to Mount Rose Highway), I-580 will be built along the hillsides of Pleasant Valley. This new highway is designed to remove the Reno/Carson City commuter traffic and Reno/South Lake Tahoe traffic from the routing of US 395 (also SR 430) through Pleasant Valley to the east. Currently, high traffic volumes and excessive speeding have been the cause of numerous traffic accidents and fatalities along this stretch of US 395. Nevada State Route 430 is a state highway that currently runs in two segments. ...


The new freeway will be constructed to Interstate standards and include three travel lanes in each direction. Additionally, 7 bridges will be constructed to carry the highway over existing streams and roads. The south half of the Mount Rose interchange will be completed, and a new Bower's Mansion Road interchange will be constructed at the junction of SR 429 and SR 430 near Winters Ranch. Construction is currently scheduled to wrap up in 2011, although the new contractor on the project aims to finish the job in 2010.


Carson City Freeway

The Carson City Freeway is designed to remove Reno/Lake Tahoe traffic and other through traffic from the streets of downtown Carson City (specifically, Carson Street). The freeway will bypass downtown to the east, and connect to the junction of US 50 and US 395 south of the city (this is the eventual southern terminus of I-580). The freeway will be constructed to Interstate standards with two lanes in each direction and soundwalls in multiple locations.[3]


The Carson City Freeway is being built in two phases. The first phase constructs the northern half of the freeway from the Eastlake Boulevard interchange (in Washoe Valley) to US 50 east of downtown Carson. This section was opened to traffic on February 16, 2006.[4] US 395 was rerouted to the freeway (with a temporary US 50 concurrency on William Street), with old US 395 along North Carson Street being redesignated U.S. Route 395 Business.[5] February 16 is the 47th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ... For the Manfred Mann album, see 2006 (album). ... A multiplex or concurrency on a road network occurs where a single physical road carries two or more different highway, motorway or other road numbers. ...


Phase two of the project has two parts. Phase 2A will construct the central portion of the Carson City Freeway starting at US 50 and continuing south to the next interchange at Fairview Drive. A partial interchange will be constructed at this location in the interim. Phase 2B will complete the remaining freeway to US 50 West, including the interchange with US 395 and South Carson Street. Construction of Phase 2A is expected to finish in 2008 and Phase 2B should be complete by 2010.


Miscellanea

  • At 690 feet in length, the Galena Creek Bridge in Pleasant Valley will be the longest concrete arch bridge in the United States when constructed.
  • Completion of I-580 will bring the Interstate Highway system to Carson City. Nevada's capital is one of only five U.S. capital cities to not have an Interstate highway. The other capital cities are Juneau, Alaska, Dover, Delaware, Jefferson City, Missouri, and Pierre, South Dakota.
  • The I-580 freeway in Carson City will not have any conventional diamond interchanges. North Carson Street and Arrowhead Parkway are both half-diamonds. College Parkway and US 50 East are Single-point urban interchanges (SPUIs), and South Carson Street will also be a SPUI. Fairview Drive will be a modified diamond interchange with a loop ramp.
