Nevada State Route 147
State Route 147 (SR 147) is a state highway serving the Las Vegas Valley in southern Nevada. It is signed as Lake Mead Boulevard and runs from Interstate 15 in North Las Vegas east to the border of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. It is not to be confused with Lake Mead Parkway (formerly Lake Mead Drive), which also goes to Lake Mead but mainly runs in southern Las Vegas Valley and carries the designation of State Route 564.
Lake Mead Boulevard became a state highway in 1978, but the highway never had markers posted to identify it as a state highway.
Route description
State Route 147 begins at Interstate 15 and U.S. Route 93 in North Las Vegas. From there, SR 147 has an intersection at Las Vegas Boulevard (SR 604) and Civic Center Drive (Former SR 607). Traveling further east, SR 147 leaves the city of North Las Vegas as it enters the unincorporated town of Sunrise Manor where it has intersections at Lamb Boulevard and Nellis Boulevard (SR 612). The highway then leaves the unincorporated town of Sunrise Manor as it travels through the Frenchman Mountain on its northern slope. The road then curves into a southeastern direction where the highway ends near the Lake Mead NRA as Lake Mead Boulevard continues beyond the highway's eastern terminus.

California State Route 147
State Route 147 (SR 147) is a state highway in the U.S. state of California. The route runs along the eastern side of Lake Almanor. It serves as a bypass to connect State Route 89 and State Route 36 on the eastern side of the lake, whereas the two highways already meet on the western side in Chester.
Route description
The route begins at State Route 89 in Canyondam. As it continues through Plumas County, it intersects County Route A13 before exiting the county. It then enters Lassen County where it intersects County Route A21 before meeting its north end at State Route 36.
Major intersections
Except where prefixed with a letter, postmiles were measured on the road as it was in 1964, based on the alignment that existed at the time, and do not necessarily reflect current mileage. R reflects a realignment in the route since then, M indicates a second realignment, L refers an overlap due to a correction or change, and T indicates postmiles classified as temporary (for a full list of prefixes, see the list of postmile definitions). Segments that remain unconstructed or have been relinquished to local control may be omitted. The numbers reset at county lines; the start and end postmiles in each county are given in the county column.
Alabama State Route 147
State Route 147 is a public highway maintained by the state of Alabama in east central Alabama. The highway acts as a connector between U.S. Highway 29 and Interstate 85 in the southern part of Auburn, Alabama, U.S. Highway 280 in northern Auburn, and U.S. Highway 431 between Auburn and Lafayette, Alabama.
State Route 267 is a bypass of SR-147.
Route description
SR-147 lies mostly within the city limits of Auburn, Alabama. Approximately one mile of the road runs through unincorporated Lee County, while 4.2 miles (6.8 km) lies in rural Chambers County.
Alabama State Route SR-147 begins on College Street in Auburn and continues for 8.6 miles until it shares one block with Alabama State Route 14 (SR-14) in downtown Auburn. It continues along Birmingham Highway and U.S. Route 280 (US-280) along with (State Route 38) (SR-38) to mile 9.0, then continues on Heath Road in northern Auburn.
History
In 1939, the state of Alabama constructed the original segment of SR-147, connecting U.S. Highway 29 in downtown Auburn to what was then U.S. Highway 241 (now US-280) at The Bottle. In 1947, SR-147 was extended north three miles (5 km) to Gold Hill. The final extension from Gold Hill to U.S. Highway 431 to complete the northern portion of the highway did not occur until 1960. In 1998, the relocation of U.S. Highway 29 to the Interstate 85 freeway led to the movement of the southern terminus of the highway from the intersection of Mitchum Avenue and College Street in downtown Auburn to a point four miles (6 km) south at the College Street interchange with Interstate 85.
