Lincoln Route in major $11B federal highway plan
A 20 year plan announced by the Federal Highway Department proposes a Lincoln Route as part of an $11 billion master highway network. Nebraska would see about 460 miles of new roadway at an estimated cost of over $48 million to residents, with 41 miles of current Nebraska highways retained as service roads and significant routing changes planned from Sidney to North Platte. The plan envisions parallel routes near existing highways, a central east west corridor from Chicago to San Francisco, and a split north south spur to Kansas City. Total costs include urban and rural improvements with a national network linking state capitals and major cities.
