North Platte, Neb. — Work is set to resume April 1st on I-80 from Lexington to Overton according to the Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT).
WW Clyde of Englewood, Colorado is the contractor for the project.
I-80 between Lexington and Overton will be changed into two-lane, two-way traffic on the westbound lanes with a single lane in each direction on April 15. Eastbound traffic will use a median crossover to access the westbound lanes.
Preparatory work for the traffic switch will include lane closures in both directions beginning April 1.
An 11-foot width restriction will be in effect and the speed limit will be reduced to 65 mph. Traffic phasing is required for replacement of existing pavement for the eastbound lanes. Two-lane, two-way traffic is anticipated to remain in effect until September 2024.
