(KLZA)-- The Southeast interchange project will continue during the Apple Jack Festival this weekend, according to the Nebraska Department of Roads.  

Constructors, Inc. of Lincoln, Nebraska, has the $24.42 million contract for the project which consists of constructing a new elevated interchange, with Nebraska 2 elevated over US-75.

Construction operations are necessary during the festival weekend due to weather and phasing commitments.  Traffic will be maintained at all times on US-75, Nebraska 2 and 11th Street in Nebraska City.

Flaggers may be used during the new ramp construction on the northeast quadrant of the project and on 11th street during paving operations.
