State Route 3 was the original designation for SR 208, SR 266 and SR 429. It was also the original designation for sections of US 6, US 50, US 95, Alternate US 95, US 395, and SR 430.
SR 3 was one of Nevada’s original state highways, first appearing on official state highway maps in the late 1920s. Originally called the “Bonanza Highway”, it ran 336.2 miles (541.1 km) from Reno to the California state line west of Lida. Soon after being commissioned, SR 3 started going through changes, becoming shorter and less important as a major highway in the process.
