(KLZA)--Major road work on Highway 8 from Highway 73 in Falls City west to Salem is scheduled to begin June 11th. The contractor does have an option to start sooner if possible.
Russell Eltiste will serve as the Nebraska Department of Transportation Project Manager. He says there will be some pavement patching in Falls City and the existing road bed will be widened by two-feet on each side to allow traffic to recover. The road will receive a 4-inch overlay.
Eltiste said while the intersections with City Streets in Falls City will be remodeled, they will not be completely rebuilt. In addition, there will be some ADA ramp remodels at the intersections.
f you are driving through the road construction areas, please slow down and be cautious.
