Identified as US-34 North & South, Seward, the project will reconstruct approximately 1.1 miles and resurface 0.4 miles of Nebraska Highway 15 (N-15). The reconstruction segment will build a new concrete roadway starting just south of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad crossing at mile marker (MM) 66.22 and extend north to MM 67.32 just beyond the intersection of N-15 and North Avenue. The resurfacing segment will overlay the roadway with asphalt from the reconstruction section (MM 67.32) to just north of Pinewood Avenue (MM 67.69).

Eastbound and westbound traffic on US-34 will be shifted to the north side of the intersection and will be in a head-to-head configuration with lane delineation. N-15, south of US-34, will remain closed. Northbound and southbound N-15 traffic will remain detoured using Izaak Walton Road, 294th Street and US-34 during this phase of construction. The city is currently working with NDOT to install "No Parking" signs along 2nd Street in preparation for the next phases and detour of the Highway 15 construction project. These signs will be enforced, so please pay attention as they get installed. Also next week, a double yellow centerline will be installed making it illegal to cross over center of the road. Thank you for your patience as we continue to work through this project.
