NDOT Begins Interstate 80 Widening Project

The Nebraska Department of Transportation has started a major project to widen Interstate 80 between Q Street and Highway 50 (“Sapp Bros. exit”). The project is adding an additional westbound lane from Q Street to Giles Road and an additional lane at the Highway 50 exit. The project also includes bridge repairs in both directions. To accommodate construction, capacity has been reduced from three lanes to two in both directions, resulting in significant delays. Lane restrictions will be in place until this fall.
