A look at previous construction on Interstate 80 in Nebraska.Work is slated to begin June 4 on Interstate 80 in the Grand Island area in Nebraska. It’s one of two major projects kicking off in that state totaling more than $9.6 million in two contract awards.
This I-80 project will run from Reference Post 310.88 to Reference Post 318.58, according to the Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT).
Vontz Paving, Inc., of Hastings, Nebraska, holds the $6.68 million contract. Work will include milling, pavement repair, bridge repair and asphalt overlay, NDOT says.
