NORTH BEND, Neb. (AP) — Officials have made some adjustments to a proposed highway corridor in eastern Nebraska.

The Nebraska Department of Roads met recently with residents in Dodge County to discuss the proposed U.S. Highway 30 expressway alignment. A new proposal would allow more irrigation systems to keep operating.

Farmers and others met with officials in October and expressed concerns, including available land for irrigation.

Dodge County Board of Supervisors Chairman Bob Missel says landowners walked away from the Thursday meeting in North Bend feeling better about the project.

The nearly $140 million project involves converting highway between Schuyler and Fremont into a four-lane expressway. Construction is scheduled to begin between 2016 and 2019.
