In the U.S. state of Nevada, U.S. Route 95 Alternate (US 95 Alt., sometimes referred to as US 95A) is an alternate route of U.S. Route 95 located in the western part of the state. It connects Schurz to Interstate 80 via the cities of Yerington and Fernley.
The highway is one of three routes in Nevada that has existed as US 95 Alt.
The present Alternate US 95 begins at its junction with US 95 in Schurz and runs west to Yerington. From there, it runs north to Silver Springs and Fernley. Alternate US 95 is routed concurrently with Alternate US 50 from Silver Springs to Fernley.
Nevada’s official highway log lists the northern termination of the route at its junction with I-80 at Fernley. However, maps, including Nevada’s own official state maps, show the route continuing northeast along I-80 to its junction with mainline US 95 at exit 83.
Dates are based on when changes appear on official Nevada state highway maps unless otherwise noted.
