History

In 1996, SR 596 was defined to extend from Tropicana Avenue north to Rancho Drive.
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 to the Las Vegas city limits at Sahara Avenue. The northern section resumed at Charleston Boulevard and continued 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 removed the portion of SR 596 between Tropicana Avenue and Sahara Avenue from its maintenance logs by the beginning of 2019, and has begun the process of transferring ownership of this portion of the roadway to Clark County.
