Jones Boulevard is a section line arterial that runs north and south through the Las Vegas Valley. A 4.088-mile (6.579 km) portion of the road is designated State Route 596 (SR 596).
Route description
Jones Boulevard begins at the intersection of West Erie Ave as the continuation of Star Hills Avenue. It continues north from there towards Blue Diamond Road (SR 160) where Jones Boulevard continues across the Las Vegas Valley to Rancho Drive, where Jones Boulevard ends as the roadway turns east to continue as Alexander Road. Jones Boulevard resumes again just north of here, at another intersection of Rancho Drive and Alexander Road, and continues northward until reaching its final terminus just north of its intersection with Jalisco Avenue.
State Route 596 begins at Sahara Avenue (former SR 589) and runs north along Jones Boulevard until reaching an intersection with Aldebaran Avenue, just north of I-11/U.S. 95. SR 596 resumes at Smoke Ranch Road and continues on Jones Boulevard until reaching its northern terminus at SR 599 (Rancho Drive). State Route 596’s length is 4.119 miles (6.629 km).[2]
History
In 1996, SR 596 was defined to extend from Tropicana Avenue (SR 593) north to Rancho Drive (SR 599).
By 2001, SR 596 was decommissioned between Sahara Avenue and Charleston Boulevard. As late as 2006, SR 596 was officially defined to exist in two sections. The southern section began at Tropicana Avenue and ran north along Jones Boulevard 3.061 miles (4.926 km) to the Las Vegas city limits at Sahara Avenue. The northern section resumed at Charleston Boulevard (SR 159) and continued 3.026 miles (4.870 km) north to its terminus at Smoke Ranch Road. As of 2008, the discontinuous section was reincorporated into the route mileage.
The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) removed the portion of SR 596 between Tropicana Avenue and Sahara Avenue from its maintenance logs in 2019[1] and had begun the process of transferring ownership of this portion of the roadway to Clark County.[3] By at most 2025, the segment between Smoke Ranch Road and Rancho Drive was re-designated SR 596, with the segment between Clarice Avenue (just north of I-11) and Smoke Ranch Road being removed from the state highway.[2]
