No.

Nevada currently doesn’t have any toll roads, according to state transportation officials, although it had them in the past. 

Territorial legislation was approved in 1861 to authorize the collection of tolls for 20 years on roads that had already been built. There were a total of 117 toll roads in the Silver State before the practice eventually came to an end in the 1880s, according to state archivists. 

But Northern Nevada could be seeing a toll road soon. In the 2025 legislative session, the City of Sparks proposed AB61 to authorize a toll road to relieve traffic demand on Interstate 80. 

The proposal called for two lanes in each direction, with one lane being tolled and the other free to the public. If the bill is passed, it wouldn’t be built for another five to eight years because environmental studies would need to be conducted.
