Construction to Begin on US Highway 30 East of Wood River

NDORWOOD RIVER, Neb. (AP) — Construction is set to begin Monday on U.S. Highway 30 east of Wood River and is scheduled to last until fall.

The Nebraska Department of Roads says the work will include concrete repair and milling and resurfacing of the roadway and shoulders on about a 12-mile stretch of the highway.

Traffic along the stretch will be controlled by one-lane work zones, a pilot car and flaggers.

On June 5, a three-day project is also set to begin on Highway 30 east of Alda. Union Pacific Railroad will replace the crossings on the highway. Traffic will be detoured using Husker Highway and Alda Road. Highway 30 is expected to be reopened to traffic on the afternoon of June 8.
