context_page_description: State Route 439 is a four-lane state highway in Lyon, Storey and Washoe Counties in Nevada. Better known as USA Parkway, the route connects U.S. Route 50 in Silver Springs to Interstate 80 in Clark via the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center. The northern portion of USA Parkway was initially constructed by the industrial center's developers; however, the Nevada Department of Transportation agreed to assume control of the road after Tesla announced plans to build its Gigafactory at TRIC in 2014. NDOT opened the extension of SR 439 south to US 50 in Lyon County on September 8, 2017.
context_section_description: The owners of the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center constructed the 6-mile USA Parkway between I-80 and TRIC for $60 million in 2001 specifically to provide access to TRIC (touted as the largest industrial park in the United States) in Storey County.
  As of August 2009, it was reported that 10 mi (16 km) of roadway had been completed—the southernmost 4 mi (6.4 km) to the Lyon county line had only been graded and were still awaiting pavement—while roughly 7 mi (11 km) of the route to reach US 50 remained unconstructed.
