Work will begin on US-30, west of Grand Island

March 18, 2025 (Grand Island, Neb.) — Weather permitting, work will begin March 24 on U.S. Highway 30 (US-30), from Claude Road west to US-30 North Road, according to the Nebraska Department of Transportation.

Werner Construction, of Hastings, will install a crossover on US-30 and switch westbound traffic head-to-head onto the eastbound lanes from Claude Road to North Road.  The existing westbound lanes will be removed and replaced with 10-inch doweled concrete pavement on stabilized subgrade. Johnstown Road North will be closed from US-30 to Westgate Road during the construction of the new intersection.

Businesses on Johnstown Road will have access from Westgate Road. The Claude Road crossing at US-30 will also be closed.

Motorists are asked to use an alternate route during the construction of the new pavement.

Traffic will be maintained on US-30 with temporary traffic controls and signs. A 10-foot width restriction will be in effect.

Motorists are reminded to drive cautiously in and near work zones, to buckle up, and to put phones down.
