GERING — Weather permitting, work will begin May 1 on N-71, from reference post 63 to reference post 72, according to the Nebraska Department of Transportation.
Werner Construction of Hastings is the prime contractor for this project. Work includes bridge repair over the Tri-State Canal, new roadway and driveway asphalt placement, and earth construction with seeding.
For the bridge work, traffic will be in one lane with temporary traffic signals. This is anticipated to last two months. For asphalt placement, traffic will be maintained with daytime lane closures with a pilot car and flaggers. A 12-foot width restriction will be in effect. Anticipated completion is November.
