SCHUYLER, Neb. (AP) — Colfax County and the state disagree about which is responsible for the repair and maintenance of the roadway connecting Richland to U.S. Highway 30 in eastern Nebraska.

The state built the winding 1/3-mile stretch of asphalt when Highway 30 was expanded to four lanes from Columbus to Schuyler about 15 years ago.

Colfax County Highway Superintendent Mark Arps said the Nebraska Department of Roads contends the county took over ownership of the spur after it was constructed.

County Commissioners Jerry Heard and Gil Wigington disagree and say it’s the state’s responsibility to repair the road.

Both urged Arps earlier this week to meet with state roads officials on the matter.
