CHAPPELL, Neb. (AP) — Repair work on Nebraska Highway 27 in the southern Panhandle is expected to slow traffic in the area.

The work is scheduled to begin Monday. The Nebraska Roads Department says work will include repairs on the highway bridge over Interstate 80 and on a bridge about a mile south of the interstate.

There will be lane closures and width restrictions. The work is expected to be finished sometime this summer.
