Route description
State Route 428 began at U.S. Route 395, near the present-day Eastlake Boulevard interchange just north of Carson City. From there, the highway curved north to follow the eastern shores of Washoe Lake. Near the northeast corner of the lake, the road diverged north to head towards New Washoe City. Outside of the town, SR 428 terminated at another junction on US 395 between Washoe City and Pleasant Valley.
History
Eastlake Boulevard first appears on state highway maps in 1942 as State Route 3B, an unimproved road branching from State Route 3 (now US 395) at both ends. The highway had been completely paved by 1969. The route underwent no significant other changes until it was renumbered as State Route 428 in the 1978 statewide highway renumbering.
State Route 428 disappeared from state highway maps by 1983. However, the southern 0.768 miles (1.236 km) of the highway, near the US 395 interchange, are still maintained by Nevada DOT as a frontage road (FR WA45).
