Omaha and neighboring towns urge reroute and paving of Highway 16
A delegation of 50 Omaha and regional residents met Governor Cochran to press rerouting of U.S. 16 between Omaha and Clarks and paving of 50 miles on the proposed new route. The governor said paving is unlikely in two years due to the state plan already approved by the federal bureau. He supported study of rerouting but warned changes face limited odds. He suggested marking the corridor as U.S. 32 and extending into Iowa, while Omaha leaders pressed for paving and U.S. highway designation before 1939 travel rushes to the Expos.
