U.S. Route 395 (US 395) clips a corner of the U.S. state of Nevada near Lake Tahoe and serves the cities of Gardnerville, Minden, Carson City and Reno. All of US 395 north of Carson City is a freeway and is built up to Interstate standards. Part of the freeway section is also designated as Interstate 580.
US 395 enters Nevada at Topaz Lake as a two-lane highway and gradually winds its way to Carson Valley where it becomes the principal thoroughfare for the Minden-Gardnerville area. Upon entering the Carson Valley, US 395 becomes a four-lane highway through Minden and Gardnerville. Upon leaving Minden, the highway becomes a four-lane divided highway and turns due north towards Carson City.
At the south end of Carson City, the route intersects US 50. The two routes overlap northbound on South Carson Street, then turn on a temporary alignment at Fairview Drive, heading east to the Carson City Freeway, where the freeway begins here, the freeway bypass between these two points is currently under construction and is expected to be completed in 2017. US 50 departs from the freeway at East William Street, while Interstate 580 begins here and heads north through Carson City concurrent with US 395.
