History
The USA Parkway was originally developed by the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center (TRIC). Between 2001 and 2009, 10 kilometers of road was built across the business park and then came to a dead end on the border of Storey County and Lyons County. Construction of the privately funded access road cost $60 million at the time. In the period between 2006 and 2008, a direct connection to I-80 was also realized.

After car manufacturer Tesla announced in 2014 that it would realize a large factory for batteries (Gigafactory) at the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center, the state of Nevada decided to take control and build the extension to US 50. This enabled the TRIC to gain a larger labor market, especially from Carson City. State Route 439 was assigned to the USA Parkway in 2015, and the 11-mile southward extension was constructed in Lyons County between 2015 and 2017. The extension opened to traffic on September 8, 2017. The name ‘Infinity Highway’ has also been assigned to the road.

Travel directions
The road is a continuation of State Route 88 in California that connects the San Joaquin Valley with the Washoe Valley, across the Sierra Nevada. The part in Nevada runs through flat and agricultural land at 1,400 meters altitude, but at the foot of a mountain range with peaks up to 3,000 meters. In the village of Minden, State Route 88 ends at US 395, 20 miles south of Carson City.
History
The route was used by pioneers and migrants who moved to California from the 1840s onwards. Its importance declined after the Transcontinental Railroad was completed. In 1935, the road was renumbered State Route 35, but was renumbered State Route 88 in 1957 to connect with State Route 88 in California. It is one of two Nevada state routes numbered as such, and one of the few that was not changed in the major renumbering of 1976.
