More Road and Bridge Projects Underway

July 26, 2021 (Lincoln, Neb.) — The Nebraska Department of Transportation is currently working on the Nebraska side of the Missouri River Bridge on Highway 2 at Nebraska City for a planned rehabilitation project. Out of what the Department termed “an abundance of caution for the traveling public”, effective today, commercial and heavy trucks and loads will not be permitted on the bridge while work continues.

All other traffic may continue to use the bridge. Official detours will be posted soon to aid traffic in navigating to I-29.

Look for information on detours to be posted on message boards and 511.Nebraska.Gov or through the Nebraska 511 app. It is estimated the restriction will remain in place for approximately one month.
