The Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) will hold a public hearing regarding the preliminary design and Draft Environmental Assessment for roadway improvements to approximately 16 miles of U.S. Highway 275 (US-275), located in Stanton and Cuming Counties, Nebraska.
The public hearing will be held at Wisner-Pilger Public Schools in the Fine Arts Auditorium, 801 18th Street N in Wisner on Thursday, Dec. 21, 2023 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. A formal presentation will begin at 6:00 p.m., with an open house to follow until 7:30 p.m.
Identified as Norfolk – Wisner, the proposed project would expand the existing two-lane highway to a four-lane expressway. The project would begin east of Norfolk, approximately 0.30 mile east of the intersection of US-275 and Nebraska Highway 57 (N-57) at approximately mile marker (MM) 86. It would extend east and south to approximately 17th Street in Wisner near MM 102, where it ties into the existing US-275 four-lane roadway.
A draft environmental assessment has been prepared for this project and is available for public review at the following locations: NDOT Headquarters, 1500 Nebraska Parkway, Lincoln; FHWA Nebraska Division, 100 Centennial Mall N, Lincoln; NDOT District 3 Headquarters, 408 N 13th Street, Norfolk; Wisner Public Library, 1015 Avenue E, Wisner; and the Pilger Public Library, 120 N Main Street, Pilger.
