Lights at I-80 interchange could speed Sidney area development
A Nebraska roads panel urged consideration of lighting at the east Sidney I-80 interchange to boost safety and development. Officials cited a February 1977 developer plan for a restaurant, motel and truck stop, noting energy constraints limit lighting. The panel will use public input to guide $7 million in next year’s gas tax funding, including shoulder widening on Nebraska 19 and a four lane U.S. 30 plan.
