Traffic on South Buffalo Bill in North Platte will be moving a little faster.

The Lincoln County Commissioners gave approval to increasing the speed limit from 35 mph to 45 mph on Monday.

The Lincoln County Department of Roads completed a study last month, and made a recommendation to the Commissioners that the speed limit be increased.

Officials say public feedback played a large role in the change.

The study compared the speed limit to how fast motorists were traveling despite the posted speed limit.

County Road Superintendent Jerry Hitchcock says he believes the change will ease the increasing traffic on South Buffalo Bill.
