Questionable Comfort On Route 30 Near Chappell Neb
A sign on Route 30 east of Chappell aims to reassure motorists that the remaining single lane is nearly gone. The Chappell Register criticizes the gesture and notes local patience worn thin by Interstate work in nearby Omaha and Colorado’s Denver route. I-80 is slated to reach Chappell by year’s end.

State Funds On Loan Basis May Help Omaha Gap
Nebraska plans to advance up to two million dollars in state funds to cover the federal share of Interstate highway work. State Engineer Marvin L Nuernberger said approval allows bids on remaining gap projects this spring with possible traffic moves on westbound lanes by 1970 and completion of the Interstate 480 project in 1971 if weather and other factors cooperate. The federal government would reimburse the advances as allocations arrive.

Availability Of Housing Is Plus Factor For Sidney In Minuteman Missile Project
The Veterans Administration would rent VA owned houses in Sidney if the Minuteman Missile modification creates housing demand. FHA has not been approached yet. Ed Cole surveyed Sidney housing for Boeing, noting a strong listing of homes, apartments, and trailer sites. The $50 million project could bring hundreds of families to western Nebraska, with Kimball likely filling first. The plan spans about 22 months, starting this year, possibly extending into 1973, across the missile complex in Wyoming, Nebraska, and Colorado.
