Nevada State Route 445

State Route 445 (SR 445) is a 41.890-mile-long (67.415 km)state highway in Washoe County, Nevada. The route follows Pyramid Way, a major thoroughfare in the city of Sparks and connects the Renometropolitan area to Pyramid Lake. The route is designated a Nevada Scenic Byway.

SR 445 begins at the intersection of Nugget Avenue and Pyramid Way in Sparks. From there, it passes under Interstate 80 directly to the north and skirts the eastern edge of Victorian Square in downtown Sparks as it continues heading almost due north. After about 2 miles (3.2 km), the road curves slightly to the northeast to serve as the primary link to the rapidly expanding northern valleys of Sparks, including Spanish Springs.

Once outside of urban Sparks, SR 445 transitions to Pyramid Lake Road, more commonly referred to as Pyramid Highway. The rural highway is four lanes for a seven–mile stretch passing through Spanish Springs. The road narrows to two lanes entering the more sparsely populated Palamino Valley north to Pyramid Lake. As the road turns more sharply northeast, it enters the Pyramid Lake Indian Reservation. Shortly thereafter, the road curves northwest as it intersects State Route 446, following the western shore of Pyramid Lake. The highway passes through Sutcliffe and then comes to an end at Warrior Point Park Road, north of the town.

The first two miles (3 km) of State Route 445 in Sparks was originally designated State Route 32, with the remainder of the route comprising most of former State Route 33. SR 445 was crafted from these routes in the Nevada highway renumbering that took place in the late 1970s.

12.5 miles (20.1 km) of the route (the entirety of the route within the Pyramid Lake Indian Reservation) became a Nevada Scenic Byway on June 27, 1996. The same stretch was designated a National Scenic Byway on July 15 of that same year.^[2]

El conector Pyramid Highway/US 395 (también conocido como Northeast Connector) es un proyecto emprendido por NDOT y RTC Washoe para mejorar la movilidad en las comunidades del norte. El proyecto se centra en la reubicación de Pyramid Highway como una vía arterial limitada de cuatro a seis carriles y una autopista que conecta con la US 395 mediante una conexión indirecta con Sun Valley Boulevard, recorriendo la región montañosa que divide Sun Valley de Sparks antes de unirse a la ruta original. No hay una fecha de finalización definida, ya que aún no se ha alcanzado la fase de diseño final. ^{[ 3 ]}
