Former State Route 8A (SR 8A) was a two-part
state highway in the
U.S. state of
Nevada, running from
California State Route 299 in a general easterly and southeasterly direction via
Vya and
Denio to
US 95 north of
Winnemucca, and south from
US 40 at
Battle Mountain via
Austin to
US 6 near
Tonopah. It was a branch of
State Route 8, which followed US 95 north from US 40 at Winnemucca to
Oregon.[1] The part northwest from US 95 towards the Oregon state line later became
State Route 140, part of the
Winnemucca to the Sea Highway. In the late 1970s renumbering, the north–south portion became
State Route 305 (Battle Mountain to Austin) and
State Route 376 (Austin to Tonopah), but the portion from SR 140 west to California did not remain in the state highway system. (SR 140 was to be renumbered to
State Route 291, but this was not carried through.)[2] However, signs remain on that segment, and so SR 8A still de facto connects SR 140 with California.[3]
