Nevada State Route 146
Encyclopedia
State Route 146 is a major east–west route in Southern Nevada
. It begins at the Exit 27 interchange on Interstate 15 south of the Las Vegas Strip
and ends at the Pecos Road (Exit 6) interchange on Interstate 215
in Henderson
. The route is known as Saint Rose Parkway, but was known as Lake Mead Drive prior to 2001.
.
Construction of I-215 through southeast Las Vegas
and Henderson altered the routing of SR 146. Clark County
decided to build I-215 between Mile 6 (St. Rose Parkway/Pecos Road) and Mile 0 (the Interstate 515/U.S. Route 93/U.S. Route 95 interchange) on the SR 146 alignment. Since the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) does not co-sign state routes along Interstate highways, the decision was made in 1999 to officially truncate SR 146 to its current eastern terminus. The portion of the highway east of I-515/US 93/US95 was recommissioned as State Route 564
(and has since been renamed Lake Mead Parkway). Clark County posted SR 146 signs along the 6 miles (9.7 km) overlapping section of I-215, even though the state highway designation no longer existed in this section when the freeway was completed in 2001. Many SR 146 signs still remain on I-215 as of 2007.
