Construction Project Fact Sheets
• US 77/Fremont Southeast Beltway (http://roads.nebraska.gov/media/5799/fremont-se-beltway.pdf)
(new waypoints on existing routes)
• N-7 between Bassett and Springview (http://roads.nebraska.gov/media/5800/n-7-from-bassett-to-springview.pdf)
Big Improvement for Your Buck: This small, cost-effective project straightens curves and improves shoulders on a two-mile stretch of N-7 between Bassett and Springview. With one of the higher crash rates in the region, this project addresses safety needs on a regionally signficant segment.
Builds on Previous Investments: Previous improvements have already been made under the asset preservation program. The modernization of this segment will potentially allow for the redesignation of the roadway to US 183, which would provide improved route connectivity.
Design Project Fact Sheets
• US 30 Grand Island East Bypass (http://roads.nebraska.gov/media/5783/us-30-grand-island-east-bypass.pdf)
Stakeholder Support: There is support for moving US 281 from the west side of Grand Island to the east side to provide a more direct route from I-80 to the Central Nebraska Regional Airport. Additionally, the relocation of the highway would provide a better connection for existing businesses that rely heavily on transportation.
Keep US281 where it is, and move NE2 east offa da multiplexes, you savages!

Is this link right?
-
Fixed. Thanks for the heads-up.
-
The Blair bypass is new to me. Any idea if it would be signed as mainline 30 or Truck 30? OSM has a line drawn in, looks like it would connect to 75 but if mainline 30 is put on it "eastbound" 30 would tack northwest. Plus, westbound 30 would now have two lefts and one right vs. one left through Blair.
I'm putting off clinching my unvisited Nebraska counties until that four-lane 30 is totally done between Fremont and Columbus, but if that has an ambiguous date I'll have to wait a while longer.
-
No idea on how the eventual designations would work out. Many of the items I include in these Outlook lists are as simple as adding a waypoint to an existing route, or even just renaming a point that's already there.
I have to wonder if the long-term plans include extending the bypass farther east.
-
It would probably be really hard to extend the bypass with the railyard right there. Maybe in a northeasterly direction that meets present 30 by the Missouri River bridge, but that would require a long viaduct (probably like the ones in Marshalltown, actually).

This actually appeared slightly ahead of schedule; most of the roadway was paved and the only major construction is the west end flyovers at US 77. L55W is badly signed as-is, so they'll probably just remove the remaining signs... or surprise me and change it into S55W!
Summer (https://www.acppubs.com/articles/fremont-southeast-beltway-decreases-congestion-and-improves-regional-connectivity): Fremont Southeast Beltway
Didn't see anything new on this, but it was dark.

I didn't go through there, but I'll be back in the area in a few weeks and will make sure to field-check this.
-
Thanks for the updates, and TIA for checking on North Bend. I'm curious to see what happens there.
L55W as well, though I suspect it will be decommissioned.

Since that's opening on the 14th, I'll try to get on this on the 23rd/24th to see (pending family stuff).

South Beltway is open.
Going to delete L55W. Anywhere there's recent enough GMSV, it's been consistently replaced by TO NE2 or TO US77 signage.
Plus it's no longer listed in the Log Book (https://dot.nebraska.gov/media/6920/logbook.pdf).

Plus it's no longer listed in the Log Book (https://dot.nebraska.gov/media/6920/logbook.pdf).
The last signage I saw was on the north end, and since NE 2 is getting removed they've probably got rid of all the signage as well. I can drive it on the way back north from the bypass just to double-check.
Because of weather I'm heading down there a bit earlier than expected, so let me know if there's anything you want me to check out. If there's time on the way down I'll confirm how the North Bend area is signed on the west end.
-
L55W:
Feel free to check it out if you want, but no need to on my account. I'm satisfied with the need to delete it.
US30:
There's updated GMSV at the west end now -- as of Aug (https://www.google.com/maps/@41.467052,-96.8554369,3a,27.8y,89.89h,90.12t/data=!3m9!1e1!3m7!1s7mt4L075GGAZEKpJYTR6xA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192!9m2!1b1!2i40)/Sept (https://www.google.com/maps/@41.4669961,-96.855183,3a,43.6y,85.1h,93.2t/data=!3m9!1e1!3m7!1sXvt2bFNWi8r9RLhnDmOd0Q!2e0!7i16384!8i8192!9m2!1b1!2i40), the EB bypass was still closed there so there's nothing to sign.
I bet this state of affairs will continue till the whole shebang opens, so I'll just go no-build on the FutHwy30 label, even if it's a bit suboptimal.

Cool. So I didn't end up going that way, ended up clinching NE 94 and then going down through Scribner on 275; the spring 2024 completion date lines up with what I saw on the ground on that project, the bypass is just one part of a larger four-laning effort from past West Point (where we met up with 275) to Hooper with concrete on the new lanes in some parts and other parts just dirt/gravel. They'll probably finish the new lanes next spring/summer, then tear up the old road and repave that by the following spring. Fremont SE bypass shows no further progress at the south end since like June or so, they must be working on other parts if it's going to open soon.
Also should add, there's still signage for the Fremont business loops (noticed a single sign apiece), wonder if they'll sign a 77 Bus when the bypass opens.
I'll check out the new Lincoln bypass either tomorrow or on 12/28, depending on weather. Will confirm what's in the HB and see if there's anything else notable.

Trip report over on AARoads: https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=32637.0 (https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=32637.0)
Pretty much everything is correct. As far as point names, the exits have different road names going each direction, since the bypass runs right along a section line offset (one of the few areas around here that I've seen within a county). I would recommend using JamaicaAve, 70thSt, and 84thSt since those are the roads going north into the populated area. Although, if JamaicaAve, 68thSt, and 82ndSt are used because they're on top on the signs that's fine too (82nd and 68th are rural roads that 90% of people wouldn't use). L55W is indeed gone, the one shield I remember was gone.
-
My philosophy was, "use the lower number". Maybe that's what got those numbers listed on top on the BGSes too.

I drove US 275 through the Scribner area earlier this week. All traffic in both directions of US 275 now uses the bypass around Scribner. Work is still in progress on twinning the two-lane segments of the bypass (most of it). But I think we could go ahead and reroute US 275 onto the bypass.

Drove by this on Sunday, everything looks paved and on track for opening at the end of the month. Not sure if this will just be a city street (so points on US 30 and US 75) or a new route (L89B?), can't tell at this stage yet.

Field-checked it yesterday, there is no signage for any route whatsoever that I could tell (which might be a reason nobody's using it). For now, I would recommend adding "HolRd" points to both US 75 and US 30, which could be upgraded to route points if signage appears months after construction (like S27E).

Also, not sure of the timeline on this, but my in-laws were talking about the future four-laning of US 77 from Wahoo to Fremont. It sounds like NDOR wants to Missouri Expressway it (which is dumb, they have the right-of-way to do a new-terrain alignment might as well do it right the first time), so don't think there will be any point updates needed but I'll keep tabs on it.
