State Route 720 begins at a junction with U.S. Route 95 (US 95) approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) south of downtown Fallon. From there, the highway runs due east along Union Lane, a two-lane road which passes through agricultural areas. After about 3 miles (4.8 km), Union Lane ends at an intersection with Pasture Road adjacent to Naval Air Station Fallon. SR 720 turns to follow the two-lane Pasture Road north another 0.25 miles (0.40 km) to an intersection with Cottonwood Drive at the main entrance to NAS Fallon.[1][2]
The alignment of present-day Union Lane appears on maps as early as 1937, although it formerly extended further east prior to the creation of NAS Fallon.[3] By 1957, the roadway existed in its current form albeit without a recognized state highway number,[4] and was fully paved by 1969.[5]
The roadway was first designated as a state highway on July 1, 1976.[6]
The entire route is in Churchill County.
