(KLZA)-- Beginning Monday, weather permitting, US-75 Highway on the southeast edge of Nebraska City will be temporarily closed overnight, for girder erection on the two overpass bridge structures. 

 Work is scheduled to begin Monday, March 13, with closures beginning at 10 p.m. and ending at 6 a.m. each day until anticipated completion on Friday, March 17, according to the Nebraska Department of Roads.

Constructors Inc., of Lincoln, Nebraska is the contractor on the nearly $24.5- million project.  

Northbound and southbound traffic on US-75 will be temporarily detoured utilizing Nebraska Highway -2, Nebraska Highway-50 and US Highway -136 until the girder erection is completed at the intersection of US-75 and Nebraska-2.  N-2 will not be affected by this construction.

Motorists are encouraged to monitor local message boards for updates for this project and to drive cautiously through construction zones.
