Cheyenne County Standoff Over I 80 Underpass Route
After a nine month dispute with the Nebraska Department of Roads the Cheyenne County Commissioners rejected the underpass design near the I 80 southeast interchange saying it creates new hazards and won’t fix the problem. They note the current routing would force dangerous merging near 11th Avenue and Highway 19 and fear continued traffic through a residential area. The contract is binding the state to the current plan despite earlier hearings showing a straight route and FHA review pending.
