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.
