Work to begin on N-92/US-26 west of Bridgeport

Weather permitting, construction is scheduled to begin the week of April 8 on Highway N-92/US-26 between Bayard and Bridgeport, according to the Nebraska Department of Roads (NDOR).

Werner Construction, Inc. of Hastings, Nebraska, has the $3.7 million contract for the 12.1 mile project. Work will include milling, asphalt concrete overlay and rumble strips.

Traffic will be maintained during construction with the use of lane closures and a reduced speed limit. Work is anticipated to be completed this summer.

The NDOR project manager for this project is Russ Frickey of Bridgeport. Motorists are urged to drive cautiously through highway work zones.
