Nebraska Expressway Plan Emphasizes I 80 Linkage
A fall proposal outlines a Nebraska Expressway System with I 80 as the east west spine and connecting north south and east west expressways. The plan, shown by road quality tiers, was presented to Gov Norbert Tiemann Sept 23 by a highway study committee. No cost or timeframe is given though bonding for highway construction was approved Nov 5. Completion is seen by many observers as a twenty year goal.
