Counties seek highway debate before final interstate route
Landowners east and west of Sidney want a discussion with the highway commission prior to a final verdict on the route. Formal hearings are set for Ogallala and North Platte on December 15. Timetables show no construction before 1969 with western Cheyenne County reaching into the 1970s. Nebraskans fear late decisions and seek early settlement while noting Colorado’s faster progress. U S Route 30 will stay open, preserving east west tourist traffic as motorists favor the familiar highway over the new super route.
