NORTH BEND, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska road officials have talked with residents about a proposed alternative route for the U.S. 30 expressway between Schuyler and Fremont.

More than 200 people attended an open house Wednesday to meet with Nebraska Department of Roads officials at the North Bend City Auditorium. One engineer says residents asked about intersections and the impact of the planned route on farmland and irrigation systems.

About six miles from Schuyler to Rogers would be built for the alternative route, and 20 miles would be constructed from Rogers to Fremont.

The Nebraska Department of Roads also wants to realign the U.S. 30 expressway and expanded it to four lanes. One rural North Bend farmer says the highway’s realignment would cut through his corn fields.
