Russell Road is a section line road within the Las Vegas Valley of Clark County, Nevada. It is no longer 🌛 a continuous road through the valley, as Harry Reid International Airport interrupts its right of way. The eastern section terminates 🌛 at the eastern edge of the airport, with the road resuming at Las Vegas Boulevard on the western edge of 🌛 the airport. The intersection of Russell Road and Las Vegas Boulevard is often considered to mark the southern terminus of 🌛 the Las Vegas Strip.[2]

State Route 594 (SR 594) was a state 🌛 highway which comprised approximately 0.723 miles (1.164 km) of Russell Road. SR 594 began at Polaris Avenue as a six-lane 🌛 city street, and extended easterly to meet Interstate 15 at a diamond interchange. The state highway portion of the road 🌛 continued east and intersected Frank Sinatra Drive to the south before ending at an intersection with Las Vegas Boulevard.[3]
The Nevada 🌛 Department of Transportation (NDOT) removed SR 594 from its maintenance logs by the beginning of 2024,[4] and has begun the 🌛 process of turning ownership of the roadway over to Clark County.[5]
