Construction On I-80 West of Lincoln Begins This Week


LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Travelers driving west of Lincoln on Interstate 80 can expect delays, lane changes and other construction related issues beginning this week.

The Department of Roads says construction is resuming between Exit 381 and Exit 395 if the weather permits.

Pavement repair, bridge deck repair, milling and asphalt overlay will be included. Werner Construction LLC has the contracts totaling $9.3 million.

I-80 traffic will be maintained, but travelers should expect temporary lane closures, in both the eastbound and westbound directions. Message boards will be used to update motorists about lane restrictions and the speed limit will be reduced within the lane closure areas.

The project is expected to be completed by this fall.
