Highway maintenance will alter the traffic flow on both Highway 15 and Highway 34.
The Nebraska Department of Transportation is chip sealing sections of both highways, which will reduce traffic to a single lane in stretches along those roads. Cars may be stopped and will follow a pilot car.
Construction on Highway 34 will start east of Malcolm when the highway changes from four to two lanes and work its way west. The construction on Highway 15 will start near Seward and go towards the Butler County line.
Following completion of the construction on Highways 15 and 34, crews will then chip seal Highway 34 from Seward to Utica and 364th Road between Highway 34 and Goehner.
