Work to Limit I-80 Traffic in Sidney Area, Department Says

SIDNEY, Neb. (AP) — Reconstruction work is scheduled to begin this week on eastbound and westbound Interstate 80 in western Nebraska.

The Nebraska Roads Department says the work area will run from Reference Post 51 to Reference Post 62 in the Sidney area.

Traffic will be reduced to head-to-head travel on the westbound lanes while work on the eastbound lanes is being performed. The eastbound construction work is expected to be finished by October 2016.
