State Route 341 (SR 341) is a state highway in western Nevada connecting US 50 (US 50) near Dayton to Reno via Virginia City. Commonly known as the Virginia City Highway, or Geiger Grade north of Virginia City, the route has origins dating back to the 1860s. ==Route description== State Route 341 begins at a point along US 50 in Lyon County between Mound House and Dayton, about to the west of the latter. From this intersection, the highway proceeds north towards its south junction with SR 342 near Silver City. From here, SR 341 veers eastward around Silver City and Gold Hill, proceeds up the Occidental Grade, and bridges over the Virginia & Truckee Railroad at the site of that line's daylighted Tunnel #5 before reconnecting with SR 342 on the south side of Virginia City. The highway runs along C Street as it travels northward through Virginia City. SR 341 leaves Virginia City and travels northerly and westerly through winding sections on both sides of Geiger Summit. The highway then terminates just north of Steamboat at Tahoe Junction, a major signalized intersection with South Virginia Street/Carson-Reno Highway (US 395 Alt.) and Mount Rose Highway (SR 431). The Nevada Department of Transportation refers to the entire route (except the portion between the SR 342 junctions, which is known locally as the ''Occidental Grade'') as the ''Comstock Highway''.〔 〕 The highway is also known as ''Geiger Grade'' between Virginia City and Tahoe Junction, though parts of its modern-day alignment deviates from the original alignment of the old stagecoach route. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nevada State Route 341」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
