Weather permitting, the 1st – 6th Streets North Platte project on US-83, locally known as Jeffers Street, will resume April 4.

Traffic will be reduced to one lane northbound to complete the work on sidewalks, ADA ramps, red imprinted concrete and barrier curbs.

Once this work is completed on the east side of Jeffers Street, traffic will be switched to the northbound lanes and work will begin on the southbound lanes and the west intersections.

This includes completing the storm sewer, sanitary sewer and water services as well as the concrete pavement, sidewalks, lighting and traffic signal work.

During the construction, there will be a 12′ maximum width restriction through the project. Due to turning radius being difficult for semi-truck traffic, they are encouraged to use an alternate route.

All work is anticipated to be completed late summer of 2016. Motorist are reminded to be extra careful in and near highway work zones, and to buckle up, every trip.
