Highway 73 Work South of Falls City on Schedule
07/31/2014

(KLZA)-- The Highway 73 improvement project continues south of Falls City. This week an additional traffic signal was added.  The light which had been stopping traffic at the Nemaha River Bridge was removed when the bridge deck work was completed.  Now there is a traffic signal at the Pony Creek Bridge and also a traffic signal at a box culvert between the Nemaha Bridge and the viaduct on the South edge of Falls City. 

Bill Cary, Nebraska Department of Roads Project Manager for this project says the project is on schedule. The work to repair bridge decks and structures started in April and will continue into November.  The resurfacing work will be started in the spring of 2015 and is anticipated to take about two months to complete. 

Once the traffic signals are removed in November,  there should not be a need to put them back up to complete the work. 

The contractor doing the project is Constructors Inc. of Lincoln.  The cost of the improvements will come in at $4,605,720.  Work started in April.
