Highway 15 open house planned

Information open house on improvements to N-15 scheduled for April 28

Posted

The Nebraska Department of Transportation will conduct a public information open house regarding proposed improvements to Nebraska Highway 15 (N-15) in Seward County.

The meeting will be in the basement at the Seward Civic Center on Thursday, April 28, from 5 to 7 p.m. There will be no formal presentation. The proposed project would reconstruct about 1.1 miles and resurface 0.4 miles of N-15.

The reconstruction segment would build a new concrete roadway starting just south of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad crossing at mile marker 66.23 and extend north to MM 67.32 just beyond the intersection of N-15 and North Avenue.

The resurfacing segment would overlay the roadway with asphalt from the reconstruction section to just north of Pinewood Avenue.

Construction could begin as early as spring of 2024 with completion anticipated by summer of 2025. Construction of the proposed project would be phased with segments closed and traffic detoured. Temporary closures and detour routes would be controlled by appropriate traffic control devices and practices.

Details regarding the project will be provided at the public meeting and personnel from the Department of Transportation will be available to answer questions, receive comments and discuss any aspect of the proposed highway improvement project.

For those unable to attend, additional information on the project, as well as all meeting materials, will be available on the NDOT website at ndot.info/12080 after the meeting. Feedback and comments on the project can be submitted on the NDOT website now through May 13.
