LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) â Authorities say several highways and local roads have been closed because of runoff from overnight thunderstorms in southeast Nebraska.
The Nebraska Roads Department said in a news release Thursday that the Waverly exit off Interstate 80 was closed because of flooding on U.S. Highway 6.
The department also says U.S. Highway 81 was closed in both directions at Hebron.
Other closures were reported on U.S. Highway 77 south of Nebraska Highway 33; U.S. Highway 136 near Ruskin; Nebraska Highway 53 near Alexandria and Nebraska Highway 63 north of Alvo Road.
Tri County Public Schools in DeWitt called off classes because road flooding kept buses from running their routes.
Lincoln officials say they’ve received reports of cars floating in intersections.
