State Route 34 (SR 34) is a decommissioned state highway in Nevada from prior to the state's highway restructuring in 1978. Today, a portion of former SR 34 is maintained by Washoe County as County Road 34. A portion of SR 447 was formerly SR 34, though the former SR 34 road bed is still used from Gerlach to near Vya.
History
In the 1950s, the pavement ended and became gravel just past the sand dunes north of Nixon. In 1951, the pavement ended 9 miles (14 km) south of Gerlach. In 1953, the paving was still incomplete and State Route 81 from Gerlach to the California state line was not surfaced. By 1956, the road was paved to Gerlach and State Route 81 was partly paved from Gerlach to the California state line.
Before 1978, SR 34 followed the route of present-day SR 447 from Gerlach to Wadsworth.
