Route description

State Route 720 begins at a junction with U.S. Route 95 approximately south of downtown Fallon. From there, the highway runs due east along Union Lane, a two-lane road which passes through agricultural areas. After about, Union Lane ends at an intersection with Pasture Road adjacent to Naval Air Station Fallon. SR 720 turns to follow the two-lane Pasture Road north another to an intersection with Cottonwood Drive at the main entrance to NAS Fallon.

History

The alignment of present-day Union Lane appears on maps as early as 1937, although it formerly extended further east prior to the creation of NAS Fallon. By 1957, the roadway existed in its current form albeit without a recognized state highway number, and was fully paved by 1969.
The roadway was first designated as a state highway on July 1, 1976.
