Nevada State Route 294


State Route 294 is a state highway in southeastern Humboldt County, Nevada, United States, that runs along the northernmost part of Grass Valley Road and connects Winnemucca with the Grass Valley area south of the town.

Route description

SR 294 begins on Grass Valley Road at the Pershing County line in the northern part of the Grass Valley. From its southern terminus, SR 294 heads north through the northern part of the Grass Valley, passing through agricultural and rural residences of the greater Winnemucca area. After about it comes to point about east-northeast of the Winnemucca Municipal Airport. There it has an intersection with Westmoreland Road. Near this intersection SR 294 turns easterly to run northeast and parallel to the Union Pacific Railroad tracks.
Development gradually increases near the highway as it parallels the railroad as they head northeast into the Winnemucca city limits. At an intersection with Hanson Street, the route reaches its current northern terminus. Beyond the northern terminus, West Haskell Street continues northeast to end at intersection with East Winnemucca Boulevard.
