1984

Three photos I found showing Hwy 395 through Indian Hills and the Carson Valley in 1984. You'll notice that the road is still two lanes here. It wasn't widened until a couple of years later. Compare the traffic you see here to what the road gets today.

I remember 395 as a two-laner very well. I also recall how traffic on weekends would back up when someone southbound would attempt a left turn onto Stephanie. We bought our house near Stephanie & Vicky around 1990 - Wildhorse was just getting started. Even by then, 395 as a divided highway was heavily used.
Thanks for the photo memory - I had no pictures of the old hiway.
