Nevada State Route 147
Encyclopedia
State Route 147 is a short distance state highway located southern Nevada
. It is signed as Lake Mead Boulevard and runs from Interstate 15 in North Las Vegas
east to the border of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area
.
Lake Mead Boulevard became a state highway in 1978, but the highway never had markers posted to identify it as a state highway.
SR 147 first appears on the official Nevada state highway map in 1978-9 as a semi-circular route. The route was: Lake Mead Blvd. (which was previously unnumbered) eastward from North Las Vegas to North Shore Rd. in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area; south on North Shore Rd. (replacing SR 41A) to Lakeshore Rd.; then west on Lakeshore Rd. (later Lake Mead Dr., now Lake Mead Parkway), replacing part of SR 41. The terminus was at Lakeshore Rd. and Boulder Highway (then US 93/US 95, now SR 582
). The highway continued west of Boulder Highway as SR 146
.
The northern section along Lake Mead Blvd. lacks the SR 147 designator on the 1983-4 and 1985-6 maps. However, it is back on the 1987-88 map, so it is unclear whether this was a map error or possibly a planned decommissioning that wasn’t carried out.
On the 1998-9 map, the southern section of SR 147 (along Lake Mead Dr.) is replaced by an eastward extension of SR 146
(now SR 564
). The entire length of SR 147 is now on Lake Mead Blvd. with the eastern terminus truncated to the northern border of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area.
